The flat’s allocated off-street parking is a rare local benefit, making city living easier for drivers.
Inside, the layout feels straightforward: a spacious lounge/diner with a box bay window, separate kitchen and two double bedrooms served by a single modern bathroom. Gas central heating and secondary glazing provide decent comfort; the building is mid-20th century brick with well-kept communal grounds.
Important practical points for buyers: the property is leasehold with around 86 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,500 and a small ground rent of £250. The block’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and future improvement plans. The apartment is modest in overall size (approximately 583 sq ft) and best suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking reliable location and transport links.
Buyer note: purchasers should verify lease details and commission their own survey or reports, particularly if concerned about insulation, maintenance responsibilities or the remaining lease term.
