A ground-floor one-bedroom flat in a gated development, offered with no onward chain and a rare private garage. The layout is practical: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom, totaling a compact 388 sq ft. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, and the long lease (nearly 989 years) removes a common leasehold worry.
The property needs full modernisation throughout, which presents clear scope to improve the interior and increase value — attractive to first-time buyers looking to personalise or investors seeking a refurbishment project. Communal grounds are well maintained and the location places you in the heart of Norwich with easy access to shops, universities and transport links.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the flat is small and rooms are modest in size, the area records very high crime levels, and service charges average £1,400 per year. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should budget for upgrades and possible energy improvements despite a current EPC band C rating.
Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable city-centre entry-level purchase with strong potential after refurbishment, or an investor aiming for a rental or resale after improvement. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential first-hand.
