This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Clive Hall Court offers compact, low-maintenance city living with practical extras. At around 498 sq ft the home features an open-plan lounge with a Juliet balcony, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — a layout that suits a single professional, couple or first-time buyer seeking a move-in-ready option.
The development is modern (circa 2003–2006) and gated, with allocated off-street parking and resident use of a communal gym. Energy performance is strong for the size (EPC C), heating is gas-fired boiler and radiators, and there is no local flood risk. Chain free sale and approximately 107 years remaining on the lease make for a straightforward purchase timeline.
Costs to note: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £1,800.20 and ground rent of £200 per year (reviewable). The wider neighbourhood shows higher deprivation indices and average crime levels — buyers should factor local area conditions into their decision.
This apartment is best for buyers prioritising a low‑upkeep city base close to parks, cafés and transport links. It offers sensible rental or owner-occupier appeal but limited space for extensions or major alterations.
