Move straight into this freshly renovated one-bedroom apartment on Melbourne Road, offered chain free and ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base. The open-plan lounge and contemporary kitchen are bright thanks to large double-glazed windows and sensible, modern finishes throughout.
The apartment sits on the second floor of a purpose-built block from the early 2000s and benefits from a long lease (166 years remaining) and well-kept communal areas. At around 563 sq ft the layout provides a comfortable double bedroom, a modern three-piece bathroom and an airy living/dining space suited to everyday living or entertaining.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with an annual service charge (approx. £1,462). Local crime levels are reported as high, so buyers should factor security and insurance costs into their plans. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flooding risk.
Location is a clear convenience: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and close proximity to shops, rail links and green spaces. The area has strong school options nearby and suits buyers wanting easy transport links, low upkeep and modern apartment living with clear potential for rental or owner-occupier use.
