This top-floor one-bedroom flat sits in the heart of the city centre, offering immediate access to transport, shops and amenities. The block has lift access, an intercom system, double glazing and large windows that bring in natural light and deliver city skyline views. The long 999-year lease and low council tax make the tenure and running costs straightforward.
The apartment has been maintained to a practical standard but shows some dated fittings and light wear; the living space is average-sized at approximately 549 sq ft. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal or gas system, and the building is a mid-20th-century system-built block with external insulation. These factors keep things simple but limit energy-efficiency and may mean future upgrade work.
Location is the flat’s strongest asset: immediate access to bus and rail links, shops, and city services makes it ideal for a commuter or professional seeking a compact, low-maintenance base. The property will also suit buy-to-let investors looking for a centrally located one-bed with long leasehold security.
Buyers should note the wider area scores highly for deprivation and records very high crime levels, which will affect living experience and rental appeal in some segments. Overall, this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom city flat offering clear, affordable tenure and straightforward maintenance needs, with modest scope to improve energy performance and interior finishes.
