The flat has been newly renovated with wood-effect flooring, modern spotlights and discreet cable management for a neat, contemporary finish.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a light, usable living space within approximately 399 sq ft. The bathroom benefits from underfloor heating and a heated towel rail, adding a touch of comfort to the practical layout. The property is offered chain-free and comes with a long lease (reported at 105 years), making purchase straightforward.
Buyers should note the flat’s size is compact and best suited to an individual or couple rather than a family. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The building sits in an area with higher crime rates and wider local deprivation; prospective purchasers should consider these factors when assessing long-term lettability or resale.
Service charges average around £1,320 per year and the tenure is leasehold. Overall, this is a clean, low-maintenance opportunity for someone wanting a city-centre location with minimal immediate work required — good for first-time ownership or to add to a rental portfolio after standard landlord checks.
