This fourth-floor penthouse sits within the Old Electricity Works development, offering a generous open-plan living area, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a private balcony with pleasant surrounding views. Built in 2021, the apartment benefits from lift access, allocated undercroft garage parking and air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Residents also enjoy a sizeable communal roof terrace and landscaped central courtyard — useful for summer evenings and social gatherings. The apartment’s high-spec bathroom and modern kitchen fittings present a move-in-ready finish, while the long lease (996 years) and remaining new-build warranty reduce short-term maintenance risk.
Practical points: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,696 and council tax at a moderate level. Heating is electric via room heaters; main electricity tariff is unspecified. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which could affect remote working without alternative arrangements.
Overall this penthouse will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking contemporary, low-maintenance city living close to shops, transport links and well-regarded local schools. The layout’s generous living space and communal amenities add lifestyle appeal, though buyers should factor in service charges, electric heating running costs, and slow broadband.
