Light-filled and well-proportioned, this second-floor flat sits within the popular Old School development and offers practical, modern living across about 669 sq ft. The long 170-year lease and comparatively low service charges make it a sensible purchase for buyers seeking security and low running costs.
The apartment has two double bedrooms, a generous dual-aspect reception room with open views toward Duppas Hill Park, a fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom. Residents’ off-street parking, secure entry and well-kept communal grounds add convenience, while the property’s layout suits sharers, small families or buyers wanting a home office area.
Notable positives include excellent public transport links (Waddon Station and local tram stops within walking distance) and proximity to highly rated primary schools. Practical drawbacks are factual: the property is leasehold, heated by electric storage heaters, broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and local crime levels are higher than average. Annual service charges average £1,476.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance flat with clear appeal for first-time buyers and investors who prioritise location, long lease security and manageable communal costs. Some buyers may wish to budget for improved heating or faster broadband where required.
