This one-bedroom apartment sits in a modernised building on Navigation Street, a short walk from Grand Central, The Mailbox and central transport links. At about 463 sq ft it provides a compact, practical layout with large windows and a balcony that deliver plenty of natural light — an easy-let for students or city professionals.
The flat is leasehold with about 104–105 years remaining, an EPC C and allocated off-street parking. Service charges are significant at about £3,600 per year with ground rent around £500 per year — important running costs for any buyer to factor into returns or monthly budgets.
Heating is electric via room heaters and the building is primarily solid-brick construction (likely without cavity insulation), so energy costs and comfort may not match gas-heated flats. Double glazing was installed post-2002, which helps noise and thermal performance in the city-centre setting.
This property is best suited to investors and city-centre occupiers seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance rental or pied-à-terre. The immediate area is a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood and crime levels are reported as very high — a realistic consideration for lettings, insurance and personal security arrangements.
