Situated on the first floor with pleasant views over Victoria Park, this two-bedroom flat offers straightforward, well-proportioned accommodation ideal for buyers seeking a city-base near the University and local amenities. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite, there is a separate living room and fitted kitchen, and the sale includes a garage plus communal parking to the rear. The property is offered with no upward chain and benefits from a long lease (148 years remaining) and an EPC rating of C.
The building is a modern, purpose-built block from the early 1990s with double glazing and maintained communal grounds. The accommodation is bright through large living-room windows and suits first-time buyers, investors, or professionals wanting easy access to the city, hospitals and Queens Road shopping and eateries. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong in the area.
There are some obvious areas to note: the living room and some internal decor are dated and would benefit from modernisation to unlock full market rental or resale value. Service charges average £1,288 per year and the property is leasehold, which should be considered alongside the asking price. Crime levels in the neighbourhood are higher than average, so buyers should factor security and insurance costs into their planning.
Overall this is a practical two-bed flat offering convenience, park views and a garage — good potential for a hands-on investor or a first-time buyer willing to update the interior. The combination of no onward chain, lengthy lease and proximity to transport and local services gives it clear short-term utility while modest cosmetic improvements would increase appeal and value.
