Compact, low-maintenance city home with long lease and parking.
Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, ready to occupy
A bright, chain‑free two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offering low‑maintenance city living in Preston. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen benefits from large floor-to-ceiling style windows that flood the space with natural light, while fitted kitchen units and integrated appliances keep running costs and upkeep straightforward. The property has a long lease (988 years) and off-street parking at the rear, useful for commuters.
The flat is compact (approximately 614 sq ft) and best suited to first-time buyers, professionals or buy‑to‑let purchasers who value convenience over generous space. Accommodation includes two modest bedrooms, a contemporary three-piece bathroom and a lounge that maximises the footprint for flexible living. The EPC rating of C indicates reasonable energy performance.
Practical costs and considerations are clear: an average service charge of about £1,200 pa applies, council tax is band A (very low), and the block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with double glazing of unknown age. Flooding risk is assessed as medium for the area and the wider neighbourhood shows high levels of deprivation; buyers should consider insurance and local context when deciding.
Overall this apartment offers an affordable, ready-to-move-in option with secure parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. It’s an attractive entry-level purchase for those prioritising location and low upkeep, or a straightforward addition to a rental portfolio for investors mindful of the area profile and running costs.
