This compact first-floor apartment offers practical, chain-free city living for a single occupant or couple. The open-plan living area feels bright and airy, and the allocated off-street parking is a notable convenience in this central location.
Occupying about 325 sq ft with a 116-year lease remaining, the flat is best suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry purchase close to the city centre. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and many shops, cafés and transport links are within easy walking distance.
Be aware of the material points: the property is leasehold with a service charge around £2,500pa and ground rent of £250pa; the internal space is small; and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs and upgrade needs should be considered. The wider area is classified as relatively deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
For buyers wanting a straightforward, chain-free purchase with parking and immediate city access, this flat offers a tidy, ready-to-occupy base with potential to personalise. Investors should factor running costs and local rental demand into their calculations.
