A compact two-bedroom third-floor apartment in Lowbridge Court, offering straightforward, low-maintenance living or a ready-made buy-to-let. The block is modern (built 2003–2006) with double glazing, communal lawns and one allocated off-street parking space. The open lounge/dining room and fitted kitchen (with integrated electric hob and oven) make efficient use of the 551 sq ft internal space.
The property is currently marketed successfully as an Airbnb, achieving roughly £80–£120 per night, which makes it attractive to investors seeking short‑term rental income. Leasehold tenure with about 107 years remaining keeps long lease concerns minimal; annual service charge is £1,669.68 and ground rent is £207.82.
Practical points: heating is electric (wall heaters and room heaters) and the flat has an EPC in the C band. The apartment is a small, low‑upkeep home suitable for a first-time buyer or someone wanting a low-effort rental. Council tax is described as cheap, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Material drawbacks are factual and important: the local area is classified as deprived with very high crime levels, which will affect living experience and rental demand quality. The property relies on electric heating (no gas central heating) and service charges and ground rent are payable. Buyers should check short‑term let rules and expected local demand before proceeding.
