This compact one-bedroom apartment at Compass Point offers immediate, low-maintenance city living. Chain-free and sold with vacant possession, the flat is presented with modern fixtures and an efficient kitchen, ready for occupation or rental. The block dates from 1969 and has been refurbished to provide contemporary layouts while retaining its mid-century modern character.
Size is a key consideration: at approximately 356 sq ft the accommodation is best suited to a single occupant, couple, or investor seeking a city bolt-hole. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property runs off an electricity supply; this is straightforward but can be more costly than gas alternatives. Council tax is very cheap, which helps offset running costs.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, secure bike storage, and a bus stop right outside the development for quick links to the hospital and motorways. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow; this is important for home workers or heavy internet users. The neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, so buyers should consider wider area factors alongside the property itself.
Overall this flat is attractive to first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in city base, and also to investors looking for a low-maintenance rental with reasonable yield potential. Be aware of the apartment’s compact size, electric-only heating, and slow broadband when assessing suitability.
