Summary - 41 Ashbourne Tower, Watling Road NR7 9TJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Cash buyers only — top-floor two-bed with far-reaching Norwich views and long lease.
Top-floor tenth-floor flat with lift and balcony
A top-floor, two-bedroom flat with some of the best panoramic city views in Norwich. Positioned on the tenth floor with lift access, the apartment offers a bright lounge/diner opening onto a balcony, a functional kitchen, two double bedrooms, separate bathroom and WC, and secure intercom entry. The property is offered with no onward chain and would suit a cash buyer seeking an investment or a first purchase with immediate rental potential.
Practical details that support straightforward ownership include gas central heating, double glazing and a long lease (around 103 years remaining). Service charge and maintenance are paid quarterly (£300/quarter, c. £1,200 annually) and council tax is in a low band — helpful for buy-to-let yield calculations. Broadband and mobile signal are good, and local primary and secondary schools nearby hold strong Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should be clear about location and condition realities. The block is in a very deprived area with above-average recorded crime; this will affect tenant demand and resale tone compared with more central neighbourhoods. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and is system-built with assumed poor wall insulation and older double glazing; some cosmetic and thermal upgrades would likely be needed to maximise returns. Importantly, the seller requires cash buyers only.
For an investor or buyer able to pay cash, this flat presents a low-entry opportunity with immediate income potential and a strong selling point in its far-reaching city views. Factor in modest service charges, a long lease, location-led pricing, and likely refurbishment costs when assessing net yield or suitability as a primary home.
