Compact city-base ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Chain free one-bedroom first-floor apartment
This compact first-floor apartment offers low-maintenance city living in NR3, a short walk from Norwich city centre and Magdalen Street amenities. The bright open-plan living/kitchen and double bedroom suit a single buyer or couple wanting a convenient urban base.
Practical details include free resident and guest permit parking, a 98-year lease, and a reasonable ground rent of £10 per year. Service charges average £1,412 annually and cover buildings insurance, hot water and communal maintenance. The property is sold chain free and presents a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The flat’s overall size is small (approximately 351 sq ft) with compact rooms and standard ceiling heights; buyers should expect limited storage and floor space. The property is in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area with excellent mobile signal and average broadband — good for renters, but the neighbourhood has higher crime levels and significant area deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or rental values.
No EPC rating is currently quoted; purchasers should factor in potential energy improvement costs. Overall this is a practical, well-located, low-upkeep apartment that works as an entry-level home or an investment, provided buyers accept the compact size and local area considerations.
