This chain-free, first-floor apartment in Kingswood Place offers a compact, modern two-bedroom layout ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Built in 2007, the property includes a Juliet balcony overlooking well-kept communal terraces, an allocated off-street parking space, and secure entryphone access. With 551 sq ft and two storage cupboards the flat makes efficient use of space without extensive reconfiguration.
Practical running costs and tenure are clear: a long lease (approximately 134–137 years remaining), an annual service charge of £1,269.52 and ground rent of £438.52. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property uses electricity as the main fuel, which can increase utility costs compared with gas-heated homes. EPC rating is Band B and council tax sits at Band C.
The immediate area provides strong local amenities, regular buses and good broadband and mobile signal, a short walk to Westbourne’s shops and eateries. Nearby schools include highly regarded secondary options and several independent primaries, which may appeal to buyers with children. The building permits AST lets but excludes holiday and pet lets—relevant for investor planning.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood is classed as a cosmopolitan student area with above-average recorded crime; viewings should consider security and suitability. The apartment is small, so anyone needing larger living space or extensive private outdoor space should plan accordingly. Overall this is a low-maintenance, ready-to-move-in apartment with long lease security and straightforward ownership costs.
