This second-floor two-bedroom apartment in a gated Copeland House development offers a practical, low-maintenance home close to schools and local amenities. The open-plan living area with a Juliet balcony brings in light, while the primary bedroom includes an en-suite — useful for shared living or guests. Allocated off-street parking and secure gated access add everyday convenience.
The apartment requires modernisation throughout, which presents a clear opportunity to add value and personalise finishes. At about 638 sq ft with 137 years remaining on the lease, the flat is well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors ready to complete cosmetic upgrades. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, and the windows are double glazed.
Be candid about practical drawbacks: the property sits in an area with above-average crime and the neighbourhood is classified as deprived, which may affect resale and lettings. There is no private garden — outdoor space is communal and modest in size. Services and appliances have not been tested and the property will benefit from a buyer’s survey and a planned programme of refurbishment.
Overall this is an affordable, well-located home offering scope for improvement. For those prepared to modernise, it provides a manageable project with convenient parking, good local transport links and nearby schools.
