Set within the gated Prospect Place at Ferry Court, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers secure, low-maintenance city living with on-site leisure facilities. The 545 sq ft layout includes a spacious lounge with two front windows, a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Practical extras include an allocated undercroft parking space, lift access, 24-hour concierge, residents’ gym and indoor pool.
This is a chain-free leasehold purchase with 105 years remaining, suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-in flat in a well-serviced development. The property benefits from double glazing, electric heating and fast broadband/mobile connectivity, making it straightforward to let or occupy immediately.
Important considerations: the development sits in a high-crime, very deprived area which may affect resale or rental appetite. Annual service charges and ground rent are notable — approximately £2,942.06 service charge and £175 ground rent — and the property uses electric room heaters rather than a central heating system. There is also mention of planned cladding works (funding stated as in place), so prospective buyers should confirm any remaining costs or schedules before purchase.
Overall, this apartment sells convenience and communal amenities rather than views or expansive private outdoor space. It will suit buyers prioritising facilities, security and low-maintenance urban living, but those sensitive to area crime statistics or ongoing service costs should investigate further.
