Affordable starter home near Mousehold Heath with clear improvement potential.
One double bedroom and separate living room, compact 426 sq ft
This first-floor, one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into NR3 with clear potential for buyers prepared to improve a compact home. The living room and separate kitchen/dining provide sensible space planning across approximately 426 sq ft, while a large private garden gives scope for outdoor living once cleared and landscaped.
The property is offered with no onward chain and benefits from uPVC double glazing. It requires cosmetic updating throughout — reflected in the price — so it suits first-time buyers, small households or buy-to-let investors seeking value and refurbishment potential. The lease has about 89 years remaining; purchasers should factor this into mortgage and legal advice.
Practical running costs are low: council tax Band A, ground rent reportedly £10 per year and a modest service charge (around £200–£300). The location is a strong selling point — close to Mousehold Heath, local shops and good schools — but the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, which may affect resale and rental demand.
Overall, this is a compact, budget-friendly flat for someone who can undertake cosmetic work and wants immediate access to green space and city amenities. Full checks on the lease, service charge details and local considerations are recommended before commitment.
