Compact chain-free flat with private garden — attractive for investors seeking low-maintenance rental stock.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat with 125 years remaining on lease
Presented chain-free with a modern finish, this one-bedroom flat in Northgate offers a straightforward investment opportunity. The apartment’s 15 ft master bedroom, cosy sitting room and bright fitted kitchen sit within a compact 442 sq ft layout, while a fully enclosed private garden adds a rare outdoor asset for a ground-floor flat. With gas central heating and sealed-unit double glazing already installed, the property is move-in ready for tenants.
The 125-year lease and chain-free status simplify a purchase for a landlord or first-time buyer wanting minimal delays. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and the location is within easy reach of local shops, buses and other transport links — useful for rental demand. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and has cavity-filled walls and standard ceiling heights, keeping maintenance and running costs predictable.
Buyers should note material local issues: the area records above-average crime and high deprivation, and nearby primary and secondary schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and may be a candidate for future upgrade; the property is leasehold, so ground rent or service charges could apply (not specified). These factors can affect rental levels and resale appetite, so investors should factor local market conditions into yield calculations.
Overall, this compact, bright flat with a private garden and long lease suits investors seeking low-fuss rental stock or buyers wanting an affordable, chain-free entry into Lowestoft. Viewings are recommended to assess condition and potential rental value in person.
