This second-floor two-bedroom flat in Skipper House offers contemporary, low-maintenance living with high-end finishes and practical features. The open-plan living/kitchen spans over 22' with large windows providing panoramic views and abundant natural light. Integrated appliances and electric underfloor heating deliver a modern, efficient feel throughout the 775 sq ft home. Secure underground parking — rare in the building — is included.
The layout suits professionals or first-time buyers seeking a city-centre base close to the train station and amenities. Both bedrooms are doubles; the principal bedroom has an ensuite and the family bathroom is a modern three-piece suite. The long lease (116 years) is straightforward, but the property is leasehold with an annual ground rent and a notable service charge to budget for.
Be candid about the neighbourhood: the area has high crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental yield perceptions. Externally the building is a modernist/brutalist former commercial block — well maintained but urban in character. EPC rating D and electric heating should be considered when comparing running costs to gas-heated homes.
