This compact first-floor one-bedroom flat sits in the heart of Norwich city centre, offered with no onward chain and a manageable lease (98 years remaining). The open-plan living/kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom provide a practical city base with double glazing and communal gas heating included in the service charge, helping to keep heating bills predictable.
The building is a red-brick, mixed-use block from the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents as a modern urban apartment suitable for a single occupant, student or buy-to-let investor. On-street permit parking is available for residents and visitors, and there is a communal residents’ car park and storage shed on site. Service charge and ground rent are modest but should be factored into affordability calculations.
Notable drawbacks are the small overall footprint (approx. 309 sq ft) and the property’s location within a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime levels; these factors will affect some buyers’ suitability and rental premiums. There is no private outdoor space and the communal heating and communal areas mean resale and running costs are influenced by the service charge (around £1,412 annually).
For buyers seeking a low-entry city centre purchase, this flat offers a straightforward, ready-to-let or first-home option with predictable heating costs and a long lease. Buyers who need larger living space, private outside space or a lower-crime neighbourhood should consider viewing other options.
