Smart city starter home with parking and long lease.
Bright open-plan living space with modern kitchen and island
A compact two-bedroom apartment with a bright open-plan living space, well-suited to first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready urban base. The modern kitchen, ensuite to the main bedroom and separate family bathroom make the layout practical for couples or sharers. Allocated off-street parking and an intercom entry system add everyday convenience and security.
The property sits in a lively, student-and-professional neighbourhood close to local colleges, shops and transport links, offering rental potential for investors or straightforward city living for owner-occupiers. The long lease (232 years) and modest ground rent reduce medium-term ownership costs. Service charges are below average at £900 per year.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: heating is electric with wall-mounted room heaters rather than gas central heating, and broadband speeds are slow. The area records higher-than-average crime and is classed as deprived, which may affect resale and rental yields for some buyers. The apartment’s total floor area is around 549 sq ft, so space is limited compared with larger family homes.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance entry-level purchase with clear strengths—modern fittings, parking and a long lease—balanced by location-related risks and higher running costs from electric heating. Viewings are recommended to judge space and neighbourhood suitability in person.
