• Modern duplex penthouse with open-plan living and two balconies
• Two bedrooms and two bathrooms including master en-suite
• Long lease: 977 years remaining
• Compact size: approximately 525 sq ft
• High flood risk — investigate flood history and insurance costs
• Local area records high crime levels; factor security considerations
• Heating via electric room heaters; potentially higher running costs

This modern duplex penthouse offers compact, well-planned living across two floors, suited to buyers seeking a low-maintenance city base. The open-plan ground floor opens onto two private balconies that increase usable space and bring in light. Upstairs, the master bedroom has an en-suite and there’s a dedicated study area for home working or extra storage.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (977 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for professionals and students. The apartment is modest in size (approx. 525 sq ft) and the layout is efficient, making it a viable option for first-time buyers or investors after a city-centre rental asset.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is in a high flood-risk zone and the local area records high crime levels. Heating relies on electric room heaters rather than a communal system, which may increase running costs. Anticipate an average service charge of about £2,000 per year and a ground rent of £200.
Overall, this is a contemporary, compact home with clear investment or starter-home potential if you accept the area’s higher risk profile and running costs. A full inspection and flood-risk check are recommended before committing.
