A bright, chain-free two-bedroom first-floor apartment close to Peterborough city centre and train station. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area creates a comfortable living space, while the larger bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. Allocated off-street parking (two spaces) is a practical bonus for commuters.
The flat is compact but efficiently laid out across approximately 776 sq ft and benefits from modern fittings, gas central heating and fast broadband — suited to first-time buyers, young professionals or small households seeking easy access to transport and local amenities. The 117-year lease provides long-term certainty; buyers should note the leasehold tenure and average ground rent of £300 per year.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime, and there is no private garden — outdoor space is communal/parking only. The apartment is presented in generally good condition but offers limited internal space, so buyers wanting larger family accommodation should look elsewhere. Council tax is low and there is no onward chain, which may speed completion.
Overall this is a practical city-base for buyers prioritising transport links and modern, low-maintenance living. Budget-conscious purchasers should factor in leasehold costs and the local crime profile when assessing long-term suitability.
