AI Summary
This is a modern, well-presented two-bedroom apartment in a recently completed development, offering contemporary finishes and good energy efficiency with a C-rated EPC. At £1,350 per month rent, it sits in a fast-moving local market with a 10.5% two-year price trend, though the asking price appears to sit above the comp median and comparable sales data for the last 12 months is thin, so buyers should seek independent valuation. The electric heating system is worth factoring into running cost budgets, and the moderate flood risk designation warrants a detailed flood assessment before proceeding.
