Set on the ground floor of a mid‑20th century block, this two‑bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Telford with immediate vacant possession. The lounge enjoys a corner window and views over a communal green; a tidy modern kitchen and gas central heating mean the property is ready to occupy while offering scope to improve and increase value.
Practical running costs are a highlight: council tax band A and an EPC C rating help keep bills lower, while the current service charge (£987.65pa) and modest ground rent (£10pa) are disclosed. The lease has 86 years remaining — sufficient for most buyers but something mortgage lenders and future purchasers should check.
The location is convenient for Telford Town Centre (approximately half a mile) and local primary schools rated Good. On‑street parking and access to communal green space suit first‑time buyers or investors looking for a let in a well‑connected urban area.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the area records higher crime and is classed as deprived, which can affect resale and rental demand. The flat is compact at about 608 sq ft and may need cosmetic updating; purchasers should obtain a survey to confirm condition of services and structure.
