Set on the second floor of a modern brick building, this two-bedroom apartment offers practical, contemporary living for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan lounge and breakfast kitchen with bay window creates a bright social space. The main bedroom includes an en-suite shower and both bedrooms are double-sized. Allocated parking is provided behind secure gated access.
The property is double glazed and was constructed post-2007, so many basic fabric elements are modern. Heating is by wall-mounted electric heaters; this keeps installation simple but can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The lease is long (approximately 132–133 years remaining) and the sale is offered chain-free.
Buyers should note the running costs: an annual service charge of £2,556.04 and ground rent of £150. Electric heating and room heaters may increase energy bills, and the area has higher crime levels and signs of local deprivation—factors to weigh for residents and investors. Transport links, local shops, schools and green spaces are all within a mile, providing everyday convenience.
Overall, this is a tidy, ready-to-move-in modern apartment with clear potential for rental income or comfortable owner-occupation. It suits buyers prioritising low maintenance, secure parking and proximity to local amenities, provided they budget for service charges and electric heating costs.
