This chain-free, two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within easy walking distance of Norwich city centre, offering straightforward city living for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The flat includes a private balcony, a contemporary-style kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The accommodation is an average-sized 732 sq ft with a practical traditional layout and a secure telephone-intercom entrance.
Practical positives include on-street permit parking, a secure external storage shed and 88 years remaining on the lease. Council tax is very low and broadband and mobile signals are reported as good, which supports both tenants and homeowners working from home. The property is offered with no onward chain, so completion can be quicker than average.
Notable issues are clear and should be considered: the wider area is classified as deprived with higher crime levels, and the immediate neighbourhood is largely terraces and flats. The building and balcony show signs of wear and the images note mould and general maintenance needs; the flat will benefit from cosmetic refresh or more extensive refurbishment depending on buyer expectations. The tenure is leasehold and additional fees (lease packs, service charges) may apply; buyers should verify exact costs and commission their own surveys.
This apartment represents a pragmatic city purchase — good for a buyer seeking central access and rental potential who is prepared to manage maintenance and confirm lease/service costs. For those prioritising low-maintenance, low-crime suburban living, this location may not suit.
