Practical starter home with parking and strong transport links.
Modern ground-floor one-bedroom flat with open-plan living
A modern, ground-floor one-bedroom flat arranged around an open-plan living space and fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The layout is straightforward and low-maintenance, with a double bedroom featuring fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with shower over bath. Allocated off-street parking and a secure entry system add practical convenience for daily life.
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-live-in city base with sensible running costs — council tax is very cheap and the building holds an EPC B. Heating runs via a community scheme, which may offer predictable charges but limits individual control. The apartment’s size is average for a city flat, making it easy to manage but with limited storage and entertaining space.
Be aware of some local challenges: the wider area is relatively deprived and recorded crime is above average, which may influence personal security perceptions and insurance premiums. The flat is leasehold, so prospective buyers should check the lease length, service charges and any ground rent before committing. Schools, shops and regular bus routes are nearby, and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong, supporting home working and commuting.
Overall this is a practical, modern flat offering easy maintenance, parking and good transport links — a sensible starter purchase or buy-to-let prospect for those comfortable with a city setting and leasehold tenure.
