Buyers should note the flat is small at about 570 sq ft and uses electric storage heaters, which can lead to higher running costs compared with gas heating. There is a modest ground rent of £250 per year. The building dates from the early 1990s and, while the flat is in good condition, purchasers should verify appliance and service condition and check measurements and legal title.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area or investors looking for a low-maintenance tenancy proposition in a well-connected neighbourhood.
