This top-floor, two-bedroom flat occupies a modern riverside development on The Shore, presented in move-in condition and ideal for first‑time buyers or young professionals. The layout includes a generous lounge with window seat, a stylish fitted kitchen with dining space, a principal bedroom with en-suite, a second double bedroom, and a main bathroom. Practical extras include loft storage, gas central heating, double glazing and an allocated parking space.
The development benefits from well-maintained communal garden grounds and good transport links — the tram stop is a short walk away — and local amenities are immediate, from cafés and restaurants to shops and leisure options. Broadband and mobile signal are reported fast and excellent respectively, supporting remote working and streaming needs.
Be clear on the running costs: an average service charge of around £1,200 per year applies, and a factoring fee of roughly £100 per month is payable for communal upkeep (including buildings insurance). The wider immediate area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics and local public services. Council Tax is described as moderate.
Overall this flat offers low‑maintenance city living, ready to occupy with straightforward décor and practical storage; it will suit buyers seeking a well‑located, modern base by the water. Buyers wanting a quieter or higher‑end neighbourhood, or with concerns about area deprivation or ongoing factoring costs, should factor those elements into their decision.
