This first-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into home ownership or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The living space is bright with large windows and a practical layout (approximately 525 sq ft), making it suitable for a single professional or couple seeking low-maintenance accommodation close to transport and shops.
Running costs are modest: council tax Band A, low service charge (£10 p/a) and ground rent (£10 p/a). The property has double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, all helping to keep ongoing bills reasonable. Its location in Marland provides easy access to local amenities, bus routes, rail links and nearby motorway connections.
The apartment does require some cosmetic updating and external maintenance — the front garden is overgrown and some internal fittings look dated. It is sold leasehold with 98 years remaining, which is adequate but worth noting for mortgage lenders and long-term plans. The wider neighbourhood shows areas of deprivation alongside comfortable residential pockets; local schools include several rated Good by Ofsted.
Chain-free sale and compact running costs make this a practical purchase for a first-time buyer seeking affordability, or an investor after a low-entry rental asset. Viewings are recommended to assess the apartment’s condition and potential improvements.
