This first-floor apartment in Friar Gate places you in a lively, cosmopolitan area popular with students and professionals. The flat is accessed via secure communal entry with lift, and offers an open-plan living/kitchen, modern fitted units and integrated appliances — a straightforward, low-maintenance city base or rental unit.
The property is offered chain-free on a long lease (241 years reported) and includes a private ensuite plus a separate bathroom. Electric storage heating and double glazing keep the accommodation simple to manage, and nearby amenities, transport links and good broadband make it attractive for commuters, students or buy-to-let purchasers.
Be clear about the important caveats: the listing text contains inconsistent bedroom information (the headline gives one bedroom, the internal description refers to two double bedrooms). The building sits in an area with very high recorded crime and medium flood risk. Heating is electric storage radiators and the property is leasehold so additional leasehold costs and possible admin fees should be expected.
An early internal viewing is recommended for buyers who want a compact city flat with modern fittings and strong rental demand — but bring due diligence: confirm the exact bedroom count, review the lease pack, check insurance and service charge details, and consider flood/crime data in your decision.
