Set on the first floor of a modern block, this compact two-double apartment offers a practical starter home or rental unit. The living room opens to a private balcony, and the fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances — useful for low-maintenance city living. Good broadband and allocated off-street parking add everyday convenience.
The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower, and the second double bedroom provides flexible sleeping or home-working space. At around 449 sq ft the accommodation is small but well laid out; the communal entrance and carport-style parking suit buyers wanting straightforward, low-upkeep ownership.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with about 104 years remaining and sits in a neighbourhood classed as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area with a high local crime score. Those factors may affect financing, resale value and personal security perceptions, though the area is assessed as affluent overall and flooding risk is very low.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer wanting an affordable city-base or an investor targeting student or professional lets. It requires no immediate structural work listed, but buyers should check lease details, security measures and local management before committing.
