This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Stoneygate offers a practical, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let close to the university, rail links and Allendale Road shops. The open-plan lounge/diner with a fitted kitchen creates a flexible living space and the double bedroom has built-in wardrobes. Resident parking and communal gardens add outdoor convenience not always found with city flats.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with an extended 996-year lease and no ground rent. Annual service charge is £1,140.86 (including building insurance) and Council Tax is Band A, keeping ongoing costs modest. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators; double glazing was fitted after 2002.
The property is presented as a tidy, contemporary-styled apartment but some areas show 1970s-era finishes and would benefit from cosmetic updating if you prefer a more modern interior. EPC rating E signals that energy performance could be improved. Buyers should confirm services and condition of gas/electrics where needed.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into Stoneygate with solid long-lease security, immediate rental or occupation potential, and clear scope for value-adding refurbishment.
