This contract‑ready two‑bedroom duplex sits in Kingston Court, a modern block a short walk from Hull city centre, the marina and Humber Street. The apartment offers an open-plan living and dining floor with a private balcony overlooking the New Theatre Gardens — a pleasant, sheltered spot for relaxing or entertaining.
Practical features include secured off-street parking, good broadband and double glazing. The layout places both bedrooms on the lower floor, with the principal bedroom enjoying garden views. The property was built in the mid‑2000s and has an EPC rating of C.
Important drawbacks are factual: the flat is leasehold (128 years remaining) with an annual service charge of around £1,488 and a small ground rent of £50. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which may mean higher running costs. The local area records higher crime levels and is relatively deprived, factors buyers should weigh against central convenience.
This apartment will suit buyers wanting a low‑maintenance, city‑centre base or investors targeting strong rental demand from students and nearby workers. The contract‑ready status speeds conveyancing, but buyers should verify all lease and service details with their solicitor before committing.
