A spacious first-floor one-bedroom flat within a Victorian terrace, offered as a 50% share of freehold with a 125-year lease. The large reception room with a bay window and high ceilings gives a feeling of space uncommon in one-bed flats, while a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom provide move-in convenience. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are fitted, though the heating system has not been tested and should be checked by a buyer.
Located under 0.5 miles from Wood Street Overground, the flat suits a first-time buyer looking for a roomy starter home or a buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward rental potential. Local amenities, strong primary and secondary schools nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to everyday practicality. Chain-free sale speeds up moving or letting plans.
Be realistic about drawbacks: the property sits in an area with higher crime rates and relative deprivation, which may affect long-term capital growth or rental choice. The building has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and may need energy improvements. Buyers should budget for standard maintenance and any desired upgrades and arrange checks on the boiler and electrics as they are untested.
