Set on the fourth (top) floor of a modern mid-terrace development, this compact 1-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance city-centre living and clear rental appeal. The open-plan living/kitchen, balcony and floor-to-ceiling doors create light and usable space across 502 sq ft, while smart heating controls and post-2002 double glazing reduce ongoing running costs.
Positioned in a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood close to shops, restaurants, universities and the station, the flat suits investors targeting short-term lets or city professionals seeking convenience. Offered chain free, the property is ready to let or occupy without immediate refurbishment, though layout and size suit rental or single-occupant use rather than family living.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: tenure is leasehold with a small ground rent of £100 and communal heating via a community scheme. The wider area has high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which can affect long-term capital growth and tenant profiles. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent and flood risk is nil.
Overall this is a practical, city-centre investment or starter home: good for hands-off landlords or professionals who prioritise location and low upkeep, provided you accept the urban neighbourhood character and leasehold ownership constraints.
