The property is offered chain free with 112 years remaining on the lease, off-street parking and double glazing.
The apartment has contemporary kitchen units, electric storage heating and a comfortable footprint of approximately 616 sq ft. Proximity to Highcross shopping, restaurants, transport links and local amenities makes it convenient for daily life or rental occupation. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home or student tenants.
Buyers should note material running costs: an annual service charge of around £2,638 (including car park element) and a ground rent of £187.50. The building is of solid-brick Victorian construction and likely has limited wall insulation; heating is electric storage so energy bills may be higher than gas-heated homes. The immediate area is classified as a multicultural, student neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking central location and character, or an investor targeting city-centre lets — the layout and twin bathrooms make it straightforward to rent. It presents scope for cosmetic improvement and insulation upgrades to improve comfort and running costs, while remaining a chain-free, ready-to-view opportunity.
