This two-bedroom flat offers an affordable city-base close to Norwich centre with genuine commuter convenience and a private balcony overlooking local greenery. The layout is practical: a spacious lounge/diner with French doors, fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, separate WC and two bedrooms — suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking immediate rental potential.
The home is gas centrally heated and double glazed throughout, set in a mid-20th-century three-storey block with a shared entrance and communal garden. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and on-street permit parking is available. Service charge and ground rent are low at about £400/year and £10/year respectively, and council tax is in Band A.
Important considerations are factual and clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 88 years remaining on the lease, which may affect mortgage availability and future value without a lease extension. The local area scores as deprived/hampered aspiration and is described as “constrained renters,” so buyers should weigh longer-term resale prospects. The flat is offered at an entry-level price point, making it appealing to those prepared to buy into the area or to investors targeting rental demand.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented two-bedroom flat with low running costs and city access. It suits a buyer looking for an affordable first home or a landlord seeking a straightforward, lettable apartment near Norwich city amenities.
