A compact first-floor one-bedroom apartment offering an affordable entry to Norwich city living. The open-plan living/kitchen makes efficient use of the 345 sq ft footprint, and off-street parking is a useful rarity for a central location. The building exterior is modern brick and low-maintenance, suited to buyers seeking convenience over outdoor space.
This home is well-suited to a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a city-let close to transport links, shops and local amenities. The lease has 98 years remaining and the property is sold leasehold; annual service charges average £1,100 with a small ground rent. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Practical drawbacks are material: the apartment is small with limited storage and no garden or private outdoor space. The kitchen is dated with low ceilings and will benefit from modernization. The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a high local crime level—important for owner-occupiers and investors to consider when assessing safety and rental demand.
Overall, this is a pragmatic purchase for someone prioritising central convenience and low-entry cost. The apartment presents clear scope for cosmetic improvement and rental use, but purchasers should factor in the leasehold costs, local area challenges and the modest internal space before viewing.
