Summary - Flat 1, 5 Moat Croft Road BN21 1NL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Large rooms, conservatory and private balcony in a central Old Town location.
Large one-bedroom hall-floor flat with high ceilings and bay windows
Set on the hall floor of a period semi, this spacious one-bedroom flat offers generous room sizes, high ceilings and a bay-fronted living room that showcase original Victorian character. A conservatory and private balcony extend the living space, while a separate kitchen and bathroom complete practical day-to-day layout for single occupants or couples.
The property sits in Old Town, within easy reach of shops, pubs, parks, schools and transport links — a genuinely convenient location for city living. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and mains gas central heating is fitted, keeping running costs straightforward. Council tax is described as low and the ground rent is modest at £100 per year.
Important lease details make this a specialist purchase: just 62 years remain on the lease and some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Prospective buyers should obtain mortgage confirmation and factor in costs for lease extension and any associated legal fees. There may also be additional admin costs such as leasehold packs.
Buyers should also note practical maintenance points: the building has solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), older period fabric and a higher-than-average local crime rate. These are offset by the apartment’s size (around 883 sq ft), central Old Town position and scope to update and personalise the interior — a good opportunity for buyers prepared to manage a lease extension and some refurbishment.
