The open-plan living/kitchen area and dual-aspect windows provide natural light in a small, practical layout ideal for single occupancy or a rental let.
The property is offered for sale by modern auction.

The property is leasehold (approx. 240 years remaining) with ground rent of £250 and will be sold subject to an undisclosed reserve price — buyers should review the Buyer Information Pack and complete due diligence before bidding.
Heating is electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity. The flat is compact and likely needs only cosmetic updating, but the town-centre setting, good broadband and excellent mobile signal make it attractive to investors or a first-time buyer seeking a low-footprint city base. Note the local area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived; prospective buyers should factor locality and safety into their decision.
