2 bed flat for sale

Parkgate, Upper College Street, Nottingham NG1

Guide price: £180,000 - £190,000

A remarkable opportunity to acquire a competitively priced, city centre apartment conveniently located on the edge of The Park and Nottingham’s Professional Quarter.

This fantastic, second floor apartment has spacious accommodation, with air-conditioning, comprising of an open-concept living area with lounge, dining and kitchen zones, principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, second double bedroom and bathroom. Doors from the living area provide access out onto a balcony offering a pleasant outlook towards the spire of the nearby St Barnabas Cathedral.

The apartment forms part of what was a modern office building understood to have been converted during 2000 and includes a secure underground car parking space, an individual storage locker for the keeping of bulky items such as bikes or balcony furniture for instance. In addition, there’s a resident’s gym with a comprehensive range of equipment.

Improvements carried out by the current owners include the installation of a new boiler during 2020, replacement of the air-conditioning unit in 2024, the fitting of a new carpet to the principal bedroom and the purchase of a new fridge/freezer and new hob. Information on further improvements to the building, including the replacement of the balcony as part of fire safety works can be obtained from the selling agent.

The building has elevators for ease of access to and from differing levels and is conveniently located off a thriving part of Derby Road well known for its independent shops, cafes and restaurants that all contribute to a relaxed, yet lively atmosphere. Of particular note is the Little Brickhouse restaurant, Alchemilla; Michelin star fine dining, the Hand & Heart pub, Tough Mary’s Bake House and District Coffee.

One of the owners favourite local walks from their time living at Parkgate is through the grand Park Tunnel, built during 1885 to allow horse drawn carriage access to the Park Estate. This hidden gem is now a relatively unknown and unusual public thoroughfare linking Derby Road with The Park.

The property is leasehold, held on a 200-year lease from the 1st of January 2000. Approximately 175 years therefore remain. We are advised by the Vendors that the Ground Rent is £1 per annum and that the Service Charge is £2117.44, paid in quarterly instalments of £529.36.

Early enquiries and viewings are encouraged and, to boot, the apartment is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain.
