This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Rathbone Court offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Coventry’s CV6 postcode. The flat is compact but well laid out, with a master bedroom ensuite, allocated secure parking and double glazing throughout. A long lease (136 years) reduces longer-term tenure risk for buyers.
The apartment is heated by electric room heaters and uses electric cooking, which keeps installation simple but can mean higher running costs compared with gas. Service charges are substantial for the size of the flat (approx. £3,474 p.a.), and there is a small ground rent (£250 p.a.) — important ongoing costs to factor into affordability calculations.
The building dates from the early 2000s and sits in an urban area with good local amenities, several well-rated nearby schools and public transport. The flat is suited to first-time buyers seeking a low-entry purchase, investors looking for a lettable unit with secure parking, or downsizers wanting single-level living. Practical buyers should budget for routine maintenance and check appliance/service conditions (none have been tested).
Material negatives are factual: the area is classified as very deprived and crime levels are average; heating is electric rather than gas; and the high service charge relative to the small internal area limits running-cost appeal. Viewings are recommended for those accepting the trade-offs at this price point.
