This modern two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers around 710 sq ft of well-lit living space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony, ideal for city-facing relaxation. The layout suits first-time buyers or couples wanting a low-maintenance home with contemporary finishes and an EPC B rating.
The property is leasehold and heated via a community scheme; prospective buyers should note limited control over heating and likely communal service charges and ground rent. The apartment is an average-sized home in a densely populated inner-city neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Local amenities are plentiful — shops, cafés, leisure and public transport links are nearby — but the wider area scores as deprived and some local secondary schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes. Council tax is moderate and crime levels are low, making this a practical buy for those prioritising connectivity and convenience over rural space.
There is scope for personalising the interior where desired; while the building presents modern, low-maintenance living, buyers seeking a standalone house, large garden, or full ownership of utilities should be aware of the apartment’s limitations (leasehold tenure and communal heating arrangements).
