Set on the ground floor of a mid-20th-century brick block, this one-bedroom apartment offers straightforward city living with communal gardens and residents’ parking. The layout is compact and efficient: entrance hall, sitting room/diner with fireplace, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place, making the flat habitable immediately.
The property will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors looking for an affordable Norwich entry point. It occupies a tucked-away position off Waterloo Road within walking distance of the city centre, train station and green spaces such as Mousehold Heath. Local schools and everyday amenities are nearby.
Practical considerations: the lease has circa 95 years remaining and service charge is modest (approx. £400pa) with a minimal ground rent. EPC rating D and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) mean energy costs and improvement work should be factored in. The apartment is in average condition and would benefit from light modernisation to maximise comfort and value.
Overall, this is a compact, well-located flat with communal outdoor space and parking — a sensible purchase for someone prioritising location and low running charges, willing to accept modest upgrading and the implications of a mid-20th-century construction.
