This third-floor, two-bedroom flat on Lefroy Road offers a practical, affordable entry into Norwich property ownership. With 103 years remaining on the lease, a private balcony, and outside storage shed, the home suits first-time buyers looking for straightforward living close to local shops and bus links.
Internally the apartment feels roomy for its size: a 16' sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen with space for appliances, two double bedrooms with built-in storage, and a three-piece bathroom with shower over bath. Wood-laminate and carpeted floors make maintenance simple, and large uPVC windows bring good daylight into the main living space.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and while the kitchen appears modern, the glazing predates 2002 and heating runs via a community scheme — prospective buyers should check running costs. Service charges are approximately £176 pcm and ground rent is £10 pa. The property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics, and access is via communal stairway to the third floor (no lift is provided in the description).
For buyers searching for an affordable flat with long lease security and simple outdoor space, this property is a sensible, practical purchase. It will particularly suit those prepared to accept communal service costs and the local area profile in exchange for value and proximity to amenities and public transport.
