This one-bedroom apartment in St. Matthews Gardens offers a compact, efficient layout in a sought-after city location with strong rental appeal. Situated opposite a landscaped communal green, the flat benefits from natural light, secure underground parking and a video entry system — practical features that appeal to professionals and investors seeking low-management city lets.
Internally the accommodation is sensibly arranged: a sitting/dining room with green views, a separate modern kitchen with integrated appliances, double bedroom with built-in storage and a bathroom. Gas central heating and mains services are installed; the floorplan suits a single occupant or couple and works well for short-term or longer lets given the nearby amenities and transport links.
Buyers should be aware of the material running costs and tenure details. The property is leasehold with 101 years remaining, a 2024 service charge of £3,679.52 pa and a stepped ground rent schedule that increases significantly over time. The apartment’s overall size is small (approximately 396 sq ft), which limits flexibility for owners wanting more living space.
This is a straightforward, chain-free purchase for investors or owner-occupiers prioritising location over scale. The combination of secure parking, communal green outlook and proximity to city shopping and transport make it a city-centre asset with immediate let-ready potential, provided buyers accept the leasehold costs and compact footprint.
