This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Clarendon Park has been comprehensively refurbished and offers a ready-to-move-in city base or rental unit. The open-plan living/dining room with a wide window faces greenery, and a high-gloss handleless kitchen provides integrated appliances and space for a freestanding washer. Contemporary shower room, stylish flooring throughout and secure fob/code entry complete the feel-good finish.
Practical benefits include private off-road parking for one vehicle, up-to-date electric heating and double glazing. The flat sits in a small, well-maintained block of eight and is being sold with no onward chain — appealing for fast completion or vacant-possession investment lets.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 91 years remaining (125-year term from 1991). Annual service charge is about £780 (£65 pcm) and ground rent around £10 per year; these figures should be independently verified. Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs and mortgage affordability for some lenders.
Location is a key selling point: a minute’s walk to Queens Road’s cafes, bars and shops, and short routes to the city centre, universities, hospitals and mainline station. The area mixes owner-occupiers, professionals and students; parts of the wider neighbourhood show higher deprivation, but demand here remains strong for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking good transport and amenity links.
