A rare chain-free top-floor penthouse in Highfield, occupying the entire top floor with lift access and a large private roof terrace. The apartment delivers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, a generous open-plan living/kitchen area with southerly-facing windows and a separate cloakroom, arranged across a single-storey layout suitable for city living or downsizers.
Practical strengths include a rarely available double garage, long lease (999 years remaining), low local crime and excellent broadband and mobile signal for remote working or streaming. The modern kitchen and wood flooring create a contemporary feel throughout, while communal maintenance is covered via an average service charge of £1,750 and a small ground rent of £45.
Notable considerations: heating is electric underfloor (higher running costs than gas likely), the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated (potential improvement opportunity), and the property is leasehold. Council tax is described as cheap and flood risk is nil.
This penthouse suits buyers seeking a spacious, light-filled apartment with outside roof terrace and secure parking in a cosmopolitan, student and commuter neighbourhood. It also offers good investment or rental potential given location and size, but budget for heating costs and possible future insulation improvements.
