Set on the 14th floor of Bridgewater Place, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers dramatic southeast-facing city and river views from a good-size balcony. The property is chain-free and EWS1-compliant (B1), with a long lease and on-site concierge—practical features that support immediate letting or straightforward first-time purchase.
Internally the layout is traditional and efficiently planned: open-plan living with a tucked-in kitchen, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, and a modern shower room. The apartment is double-glazed and finished for low-maintenance city living, but heating is by electric wall-mounted heaters and room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas systems.
Practical considerations include a substantial annual service charge (£2,629.96) and ground rent (£370.03 pa, review due 2029). The apartment is small (approximately 323 sq ft) and suited to single occupiers or couples; its location in a cosmopolitan, student-dominated neighbourhood may influence long-term owner-occupier quietness but supports strong rental demand.
Transport and local amenity strengths are significant: lifts and concierge on-site, Tesco, cafés, fitness amenities, and Leeds Central train station just minutes’ walk away. Buyers should note the area reports very high crime levels—factor this into security and insurance considerations. Overall, this is a low-maintenance, view-led city apartment with clear investment or first-home potential if the size and service costs match buyer requirements.
