A compact one-bedroom second-floor apartment in Barnards Yard, offered chain-free and ready for immediate purchase. The flat’s open-plan living room with fitted kitchen, double bedroom and white three-piece bathroom make efficient use of the 334 sq ft footprint. Shared communal gardens and a generous external storage shed add practical outside space.
Practical running costs are clear: a 102-year lease, community heating and hot water included in the service charge, and a low annual ground rent. The service charge is currently £110.67 per month (approx. £1,328.04pa) and is due to reduce to £84 per month from 1 April next year. Council Tax Band A and an EPC rating of C (71) support modest ongoing costs.
The location is central Norwich, a short walk to the River Wensum and Colegate with shops, cafés and transport links on the doorstep. This flat suits a first-time buyer or landlord seeking a low-entry investment in a city-centre, well-connected spot.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall size and compact rooms; the wider area is described as deprived with a very high local crime level, which may affect long-term resale or rental premiums. The property is leasehold with 102 years remaining and communal heating under a service arrangement, so review of lease and service provisions is recommended before purchase.
