Set on the west side of a modern mid-rise block, this two double-bedroom apartment offers generous living space (approx. 893 sq ft) and a private balcony overlooking peaceful city views. The layout includes a large lounge/dining room, separate kitchen, master en-suite and built-in storage — practical for everyday living or sharable tenancies.
Practical extras include secure gated allocated parking to the rear, a telephone entry system, communal roof terrace and an EWS1 Option B certificate in place. The property was built in 2006 and benefits from double glazing; the accommodation is ready to occupy with neutral finishes throughout.
Important considerations: the home is leasehold with around 97 years remaining, an annual service charge of c. £1,800 and ground rent of c. £240. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, and the building sits in an area reported with higher crime levels — factors to weigh for day-to-day costs and security.
Ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a spacious city-centre base or an investor targeting student or city-let demand, this apartment combines central convenience with secure parking and genuine rental appeal. A viewing will show the scale and practical layout; buyers are advised to budget for ongoing service charges and to consider a full inspection before purchase.
