Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment on Preston Docklands with a waterside balcony and clear marina views. The flat offers a practical layout: lounge with balcony, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, family bathroom and two double bedrooms — all within a compact 520 sqft footprint. The long lease (approximately 965 years) and allocated off-street parking are strong ownership positives.
The property is being sold with a tenant in situ, making it suitable for buy-to-let investors who want immediate income. Heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators; double glazing was added after 2002. Service charges total about £828 annually (circa £69 pcm), and council tax is described as affordable.
Buyers should note relevant downsides: the flat is small and best suited to couples or rental use rather than family living. The local area records very high crime and is relatively deprived, which may affect resale or tenant profiles. The apartment is chain-free and comes with a long lease and shared management arrangements for communal upkeep.
Nearby amenities include supermarkets, gyms, cafes, restaurants and good road and bus links into Preston city centre. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach, and the marina, riverside walks and local leisure options add lifestyle appeal for residents and tenants alike.
