This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in central Heswall offers straightforward, low-maintenance living for a first-time buyer. The apartment sits within a modern development built in the early 2000s, benefiting from double glazing, a long lease of 977 years and a manageable service profile. With 515 sq ft of open-plan living, the layout feels contemporary and easy to run.
The property includes a private rear balcony and off-street resident parking — practical extras for everyday life. Local shops, cafés and transport links are within walking distance, and the neighbourhood is classed as affluent with very low crime, making it an attractive location to move into and establish roots. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a small ground rent of £100 and electric-powered heating, which can be more expensive than gas in some circumstances. Broadband speeds are average, and the property is a compact one-bedroom so buyers needing more space should consider that limitation. The flat is offered chain free, which can simplify and speed up a purchase.
