A bright first-floor one-bedroom flat on Edridge Road offering an efficient open-plan living space and contemporary finishes. At approximately 342 sq ft, the apartment maximises usable space with a combined lounge/kitchen and a double bedroom — ideal for a single professional or a couple starting out.
The building is modern (constructed 2018) and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with close access to public transport and local amenities. The long lease (995 years) provides tenure security; communal heating is provided by a community scheme. The interior appears well presented with a fitted kitchen and a full-suite bathroom.
Buyers should note the compact overall size and lack of private outdoor space, which limits family appeal but suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property sits in an area with higher crime rates and wider area deprivation, and there is an average annual service charge of £2,300 plus a ground rent of £225 — these running costs should be factored into affordability calculations.
For an investor, the block’s density and central location support rental demand; for an owner-occupier, the flat offers a low-maintenance city base with straightforward transport links. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own surveys and check the service charge and communal maintenance arrangements before committing.
