This compact second-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a modern 2014 block on Church Road, offering low-maintenance urban living with lift access and a private balcony. The open-plan reception/kitchen is suited to contemporary city lifestyles, and the bedroom provides built-in cupboards and direct access to the balcony. Electric underfloor heating and double glazing contribute to efficient, modern comfort.
The property is offered with a long lease and is realistically sized at about 489–498 sq ft — compact but well laid out for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, while the building’s communal frontage places you close to local shops, bus routes and the nearby station.
Important practical points: service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (around £2,640 and £150 pa respectively), council tax is described as cheap, and the immediate area records above-average crime and high levels of deprivation. There is no private garden and the flat is street-facing, so buyers wanting quiet, green outdoor space should consider this.
Overall, this is a straightforward, modern one-bedroom with genuine rental and starter-home appeal. It will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance city base or an investor targeting strong rental demand — buyers who prioritise space or a garden may prefer to look elsewhere.
