Situated on the first floor of The Babington, this two-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into Nottingham’s NG7 market. The flat has a generous open-plan lounge/diner with French doors to a private balcony, a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom — all within a compact 597 sq ft footprint. The property is offered with no onward chain and a very long lease (959 years).
This is a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors drawn to proximity to the Queens Medical Centre and strong transport links. A permit parking space is included, communal grounds are low-maintenance, and essential running costs include a service charge around £1,392 and a small ground rent of £200. Council tax is very low.
The apartment does require renovation and general TLC throughout, so buyers should budget for updating and cosmetic works. Heating is via electric storage heaters and mains fuel is electricity; glazing is double glazed though installation date is unknown. Note the immediate area is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood and local recorded crime levels are very high — consider security and tenant-mix when planning use.
Overall this is a well-located, low-maintenance flat with scope to add value through refurbishment. It suits buyers seeking an affordable home near major hospitals and transport, or investors targeting steady rental demand from students and hospital staff.
