This compact two-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a quiet, well-connected pocket of Ayton, close to shops, bus links and several well-rated schools. The accommodation is presented in generally neutral, modern condition with a spacious lounge/diner and a contemporary bathroom, making it suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance living.
Practical facts are clear: the property is leasehold with 101 years remaining, a low annual ground rent of £10 and a service charge of about £96.34 pcm (circa £1,156 pa). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, and double glazing was installed after 2002. Local crime levels are low and mobile and broadband signals are strong.
Internally the flat is compact. The principal reception is surprisingly roomy for the size, but the second bedroom is narrow and the home has no private garden. Some fittings show signs of age (worn carpet in the living room and dated light fittings), so buyers should factor minor updating or redecoration into their plans. The property’s location and low running costs are the main strengths for buyers wanting convenience and a straightforward, manageable home.
