Summary - 5, Wessex Street NR2 2TJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal starter home or buy-to-let moments from shops, cafes and transport.
Allocated off-street parking space included
This well-presented first-floor flat offers a compact, practical home or a straightforward buy-to-let in a sought-after South Norwich location. The apartment benefits from a secure communal entrance with intercom, allocated off-street parking and double glazing. With no onward chain from mid-July, it’s ready for a quick sale or straightforward tenancy set-up.
Inside, a 17ft lounge/diner sits alongside a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The layout is traditional and easy to furnish; the property was constructed in the 2003–2006 phase so the build is modern and low-maintenance. Electric room heaters provide warmth and there are good broadband and mobile signals for working-from-home needs.
Practical costs and ownership details are clear: this is a leasehold flat with about 107 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,660. Council tax is described as low, but electric heating can produce higher running bills than gas. The accommodation is small at about 560 sq ft, so it will suit buyers seeking a manageable first home or an investor wanting a centrally located rental with minimal upkeep.
Location is a major strength — close to the Golden Triangle fringe and within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, pubs and the city centre. The local area mixes families and students, which supports rental demand, but also means varied neighbourhood activity at different times of day.
