A bright, well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Birch House, positioned a short walk from Market Harborough town centre and the station. The open-plan living area and south-facing balcony bring generous daylight into the flat, and both bedrooms are doubles — a practical layout for first-time buyers or those seeking a rental opportunity.
The block was built in the 2007–2011 era and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, lift access and loft storage. Allocated off-street parking and a secure communal entry are useful conveniences in this central location. The apartment is available with 131 years remaining on the lease, a ground rent of £75 per year and an average service charge of about £1,975.94 per year.
Buyers should note the property footprint is modest (about 593 sq ft) and the setting is town-centre rather than rural — outdoor space is limited to the balcony. The area records higher local crime statistics than average, which may concern some purchasers; there are, however, strong transport links, nearby shops and schools that support daily life and potential rental demand.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-located home or an investor wanting a centrally located rental. It offers immediate move-in condition and practical amenities, but factor in ongoing leasehold costs and the compact size when comparing value and suitability.
