This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Newfield Lane offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase with practical benefits for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property comes with a share of freehold (99 years remaining) and an allocated off-street parking space accessed from the rear, a useful rarity for flats in the area.
Internally the layout is compact and liveable: a large front double bedroom with a bay window, a bright living room, a rear kitchen with wall and base units, and a modern shower room. The apartment measures about 539 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for renters or homeowners working from home.
The flat does need renovation and cosmetic updating to reach its full value. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building appears to have solid brick walls with no added insulation, so consider potential upgrade costs for central heating or insulation improvements. The area is classed as very deprived and has above-average recorded crime, which will influence rental yields and resale expectations.
Overall this is a compact, affordable property with scope to add value through refurbishment. It suits buyers who want a low-entry purchase with parking and a share of freehold, and who are comfortable planning and funding upgrades to maximise return or personal comfort.
