This one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Peter James Court offers an affordable, low-maintenance base close to Stafford town centre. The compact layout includes an open-plan living/dining area, double bedroom and a practical kitchen and bathroom — suited to a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a straightforward let.
Strengths include off‑street parking, a secure communal entrance and a very low council tax band, which reduce running costs. The property is chain-free and set in a modern late-20th-century terrace with double glazing already installed, making it move-in ready with only light cosmetic updates likely.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 66 years remaining. That remaining term may restrict mortgage options — some lenders could refuse to lend until the lease is extended. Heating relies on electric storage heaters and the glazing dates from before 2002, so upgrading these elements could improve comfort and the EPC rating.
The area is close to shops, schools and transport links including the mainline station, making the location particularly convenient. Crime rates are above average locally, so buyers should consider security measures and factor this into suitability. There is no flood risk for the site.
