This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat offers an easy-entry home in a quiet cul-de-sac near Woodgate Valley Country Park. The living area is bright and opens to a modern kitchen; a recently fitted central heating system adds immediate comfort and efficiency. A private, fully enclosed rear garden and multiple outdoor storage units are rare extras for a flat and give usable outdoor space for gardening or relaxation.
The apartment is leasehold with 106 years remaining, low ground rent and a below-average service charge, making it straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking affordable running costs. Interiors are tidy and neutral throughout, with double glazing and original mid‑century building character. The roomy bedroom includes built-in storage and the bathroom is fitted with a roll-top bath and shower attachment.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood scores: the area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime levels, which may affect long-term capital growth and letting demand. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and, while the flat is presented well, prospective purchasers should commission a survey to confirm the condition of communal elements and services. Chain-free sale and quick possession are possible.
In short: a practical, affordable entry property with generous private garden space and low holding costs, best suited to a first-time buyer or investor who prioritises immediate liveability and value while being aware of local socio-economic factors.
