This ground-floor two-bedroom flat occupies a modern block in Elsecar, offering a compact, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let opportunity. Built 2003–2006, it benefits from double glazing, communal gardens and an allocated off-street parking space for exclusive use (not shown on the Land Registry plan).
The layout provides comfortable living accommodation across about 517 sq ft with contemporary finishes and medium-sized living room that receives good natural light. Broadband speeds are fast and local primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings, helping everyday convenience and rental appeal.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs than gas-heated properties. The property is leasehold (very long unexpired term reported at 977 years) — prospective buyers should confirm service charges, ground rent and parking legalities prior to offer. The wider area scores as relatively deprived, which may influence long-term capital growth but supports rental demand.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-upkeep flat suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry or investors targeting a steady local rental market. Essential checks on parking title, operating services and energy costs are recommended before committing.
