Bright, compact and chain-free, this one-bedroom apartment suits investors or buyers seeking a low-maintenance urban base close to the estuary. The open-plan lounge and kitchen flow onto a balcony that brings in natural light and provides outdoor space for a table and chairs. Allocated off-street parking and an on-site gym add convenience often missing at this price point.
Practical details support straightforward ownership: a very long lease (982 years), double glazing and modern construction from 2007–2011. The property is heated by electric room heaters and powered by electricity (not a communal system), so running costs should be checked against your usage and tariff. Council tax banding is described as affordable.
Important negatives are factual: the flat is small (approx. 329 sq ft) and located in an area with high flood risk, which will affect insurance costs and suitability for some buyers. The wider neighbourhood is classified as a student-communal, cosmopolitan area and the local economy shows signs of deprivation, so consider rental demand, tenant profiles and resale prospects carefully.
Overall this is a practical, modern flat offered chain-free, well suited to a buy-to-let investor targeting students or young professionals, or a first-time buyer prioritising low-entry cost and convenience. Viewings will show the good natural light, balcony and on-site facilities, but buyers should factor flood risk and electric heating into their decision.
