A well-laid out top-floor two-bedroom apartment offering straightforward, low-maintenance living or a rentable unit in an affordable price band. The open-plan living and dining area flows into a designated kitchen, and large glazed doors bring natural light across the principal rooms. One bedroom includes a Juliet balcony and both lounge and kitchen face peaceful church grounds.
Practical features include an allocated parking space in a private car park with an EV charging point, double glazing, gas central heating and fast broadband/ excellent mobile signal — useful for modern tenants or homeworking buyers. The lease is long (131 years remaining), ground rent is low (£100pa) and council tax sits at Band A, keeping running costs down. The service charge is £1,465pa; buyers should factor this into affordability calculations.
Material negatives are the wider area indicators: the neighbourhood is described as very deprived with above-average crime and local socio-economic challenges. The block was constructed in the early 2000s and appears structurally sound from records, but the apartment’s internal finish (carpets and some dated fittings) suggests light redecoration may be needed. This is a practical, inexpensive entry property suitable for investors seeking tenancy demand or a first-time buyer prepared to accept local area issues in return for low purchase and running costs.
