Local area records high crime and deprivation levels
Quiet riverside townhouse arranged over three floors, well suited to a professional couple or downsizers seeking low-maintenance living close to the city. The first-floor living room and dining kitchen give a generous, light-filled entertaining space; two double bedrooms occupy the top floor. Outside, a block-paved covered carport and rear patio provide private parking and an outdoor spot to relax.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (966 years), private off-street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working. The property has been refurbished after a recorded ground-floor flood in December 2015; the ground floor was fully upgraded following that event.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the home is leasehold with a service charge (c. £1,176 pa) and a small ground rent (£50 pa). Heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas, and parts of the kitchen are dated and likely need modernising. The local area records high crime levels and some deprivation indicators; buyers should factor neighbourhood safety and insurance implications into their decision.
