A centrally located, first-floor one-bedroom flat in a busy city-centre terrace, offered with no onward chain. The flat benefits from a large bay-fronted living room, modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, double glazing and mains gas central heating. A private paved courtyard with a substantial external storage cupboard adds useful outdoor and storage space.
The property sits in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood which supports strong rental demand, making it a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The lease is long (199 years from 1980, c.154 years remaining) and the seller reports a peppercorn ground rent; prospective buyers should verify maintenance arrangements and shared freehold details during conveyancing.
Notable positives: Energy rating Band C, very low council tax banding and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity. Important considerations: the building is an Edwardian solid-brick construction with assumed uninsulated walls, so thermal improvements or insulation works could be needed; the area records above-average crime levels, so security and tenant screening are practical priorities.
Overall, this modest but well-presented flat is suited to investors targeting city-centre student or professional lets, or first-time buyers seeking a compact central home. Early inspection is recommended to confirm communal maintenance arrangements and to assess any improvement works you may wish to carry out.
