Step into a smart ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a modern 2019 development, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance city living or an investor targeting steady rental demand. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner makes the most of the 478 sq ft footprint, and large windows bring in good natural light. With High Wycombe station only 5–7 minutes’ walk, fast trains to London Marylebone make commuting straightforward.
The flat is offered chain-free and benefits from double glazing, lift access and 119 years remaining on the lease — a comfortable lease term for purchase or investment. Council tax is described as cheap, and the building’s modern exterior suggests limited exterior maintenance. A projected rental figure of around £1,000 pcm is indicated for buy-to-let potential.
There are important practical points to note: heating is electric, which can be more expensive than gas, and there is no private garden. Ground rent is £220 and the area records a very high crime level locally — buyers should factor security and running costs into their decision. The apartment is compact and will suit those comfortable with city-centre, apartment living rather than buyers seeking larger family space.
Internal viewing is recommended to assess space and condition personally. Overall, this is a convenient, well-presented starter home or investment in a lively town location with excellent transport links to London.
