Compact city-centre one-bedroom apartment in Marconi House, offered chain-free and suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The flat sits on the second floor of a modern 2000s development and benefits from an allocated parking bay, lift and fob access — useful in a busy urban setting.
Accommodation is modest but well-presented: open-plan living with double doors to a small balcony, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, one double bedroom and a bathroom. The property is double-glazed, has an Energy Rating C and council tax band B, so running costs are reasonable for its size.
Important practical points: the home uses electric heating (no gas) and room heaters provide warmth, which can increase energy bills compared with gas central heating. The lease has about 105 years remaining; annual service charge is approximately £2,290 and ground rent £175 pa (first review 2030). Cladding remedial works have been carried out and an EWS1 form is available.
Location strengths include immediate access to city amenities, transport links and rental demand from the nearby student and professional population. Drawbacks to weigh: very high local crime statistics for the area and a compact overall footprint (approx. 420 sq ft), so the flat suits someone prioritising central location and low-maintenance living rather than extensive living space or long-term family use.
