Set across two levels, this 761 sq ft split-level flat offers two double bedrooms and practical living space close to the A40. The property is chain-free with an 86-year lease remaining, making it straightforward for first-time buyers or investors seeking a near-term move-in. Double-glazed windows and mains gas central heating are already in place.
The building dates from the 1950s–60s and the interior shows mid-century fittings and some dated elements — photographed ceiling cracks, older gas heater and wood panelling — which indicate cosmetic and maintenance work will be needed. Service charges average £1,885 per year and ground rent is £10, so factor communal upkeep costs into affordability.
Outside, residents benefit from communal gardens and good transport links: easy access to the A40, local buses and nearby schools rated Good to Outstanding. The area is mixed and classified as a deprived, high-crime neighbourhood, so buyers should weigh location trade-offs against price and convenience.
This apartment suits a buyer wanting an affordable entry into UB5 who is prepared to invest in refurbishment, or an investor targeting rental demand supported by local transport and schooling. The split-level layout and two double bedrooms give practical space with clear potential once modernised.
