Third-floor one-bedroom apartment with open-plan lounge kitchen
Secure communal entrance with lift and stair access
Double glazed windows; contemporary internal finishes
Electric room heaters — heating costs likely higher than gas
Chain-free sale, quick completion possible
Leasehold tenure — check lease length and service charges
No private garden; compact rooms suit singles or sharers
Located in student/cosmopolitan area — strong rental demand
This third-floor, one-bedroom apartment sits in a modern purpose-built block on Falkner Street — compact, contemporary and chain-free, making it quick to buy or rent out. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and large windows give a bright feel despite the modest footprint, suited to a single professional, student or buy-to-let investor targeting the nearby university market.
The building offers secure communal access with lift and stairs, and the flat benefits from double glazing and electric heating via room heaters. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting strong rental demand from students or young workers in this cosmopolitan, inner-city neighbourhood.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the property is leasehold, set in an area with higher-than-average deprivation, and heating is solely electric which can mean higher running costs. There is no private outdoor space and rooms are compact, so it suits those seeking low-maintenance urban living rather than larger-family accommodation.
For investors the asset’s strengths are its central location, modern finish and immediate marketability (chain-free). For a first-time buyer it offers an affordable city-base with straightforward access to local amenities and transport, but budget for ongoing electricity costs and check the lease length and service charges before committing.
