Summary - 197b Powerscourt Road PO2 7JH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact city-centre living with investment or first-home appeal.
Chain free ground-floor studio, immediate vacant possession
Set within a Victorian semi, this ground-floor studio offers compact, chain-free city living with immediate availability. The main sitting/bedroom benefits from a bay window that brings in natural light, while the separate kitchen/dining area keeps living and cooking zones distinct. With 384 sq ft, the layout suits a single buyer or couple seeking an affordable first home or a straightforward rental investment.
Practical running costs include electric room heaters and a leasehold tenure with 106 years remaining. Annual service charges average £2,200 with a small ground rent of £200; council tax is very low. Buyers should factor these ongoing costs alongside the purchase price and the need for electric heating rather than gas central heating.
The building shows period character but images note repair needs and potential structural issues; a survey is advisable before exchange. The apartment’s compact size and simple finishes make it a good candidate for modest cosmetic updating to increase comfort or rental yield, but significant structural work would affect budget and timing.
Location is a clear strength: walking distance to local amenities, transport links and schools, with low local crime and fast broadband. No forward chain speeds up completion for anyone wanting a quick move or to start lettings promptly.
