This bright first-floor apartment in NR3 offers a compact, well-laid-out home ideal for a first-time buyer seeking easy access to Norwich city centre. The dual-aspect living/dining room with a bay window floods the space with light, while an open-plan connection to a modern kitchen keeps the layout sociable and practical. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom make day-to-day living comfortable, and practical built-in storage helps maximise the 575 sq ft footprint.
Outside, the property includes an allocated off-street parking space and well-maintained communal grounds, a useful bonus in this area. Local amenities, frequent bus routes, nearby parks and several schools are all within easy reach, adding day-to-day convenience and appeal for those working or studying in the city.
Important — the lease has only 58 years remaining. Mortgage lenders are likely to refuse lending against this lease length, and buyers should obtain legal and mortgage advice before proceeding. Ongoing costs include an annual service charge of around £1,400 and ground rent of £100. The area shows higher-than-average crime and significant deprivation, which buyers should consider alongside the property’s benefits.
Overall, this is a practical, light-filled home with clear commuter and local-amenity advantages. It will suit a buyer who can manage the short lease situation — either with cash purchase, specialist mortgage advice, or a willingness to engage with lease extension discussions and associated costs.
