This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers an accessible city base with practical extras aimed at first-time buyers. The layout includes a spacious lounge-diner, a breakfasting kitchen, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and an allocated parking space in a secure car park — useful in an urban location where parking can be scarce. Recent external works (new roof and wall render October 2024) reduce short-term maintenance worry and the property benefits from gas central heating with a Hive thermostat.
The apartment is described as having a large private rear garden and a communal bike store, but imagery and communal-area notes also indicate limited communal exterior space. Prospective buyers should verify whether the garden is private or communal before committing. The block is modern and low-rise, though rooms are modest in size and some ceilings are low — worth viewing if you prefer compact, efficient living rather than roomy proportions.
Practical running costs are reasonable: freehold tenure, a below-average factor/service charge (approx. £360), and moderate council tax (Band D). The area is well connected with shops and transport within walking distance; broadband and mobile signal are reported strong. Be aware the wider neighbourhood is classified as a migrant commuter and cosmopolitan student area with higher local deprivation indicators, which can influence long-term capital uplift and local amenity mix.
Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance urban starter home with parking and recent external investment. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising convenience and practical features over generous internal space; confirm garden ownership and inspect ceiling heights during a viewing.
