This two-bedroom duplex apartment in Hadden-Costello House offers a practical, well-presented home for first-time buyers. The top-floor layout creates a light, airy main bedroom with three Velux windows, plus an open-plan lounge and modern farmhouse-style kitchen — a comfortable space for everyday living and entertaining.
Practical benefits include an allocated gated parking space, double glazing, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful in a busy city location. The building is relatively modern (built 2003–2006) and the lease has about 106 years remaining, giving medium-term security for mortgage lenders.
Buyers should note several material drawbacks: the property is leasehold with a service charge around £1,400pa and ground rent of £100pa; heating is by electric storage heaters; the local area records above-average crime and is classed as very deprived; and there is a medium flooding risk. These factors may affect running costs, insurance, and suitability depending on buyer priorities.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking a city-base close to amenities, public transport and university/medical employers, or an investor targeting the local private-renter market. It’s presented in good condition but purchasers are advised to commission their own checks on services, heating and flood risk before committing.
