This well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers compact, move-in ready accommodation in a modern semi-detached building on a quiet close. The open-plan living area provides a flexible layout with a defined kitchen and allocated off-street parking — practical for a commuting professional or first-time buyer. Double glazing, an EPC rating of C and fast broadband support everyday comfort and working-from-home needs.
Location is a strong suit: immediate proximity to QE Hospital, good transport links and several highly rated primary and secondary schools nearby. The local mix of commuters and students means steady rental demand if you decide to let, while excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities add convenience.
There are important practical considerations: the property sits in an area with high crime levels and very high deprivation scores, which may affect resale and rental yields. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity. The lease has about 105 years remaining, with a modest ground rent of £250 and a below-average service charge of £882.60 per year. Tenure type and council tax band are not specified and should be confirmed prior to offer.
