Freshly renovated two-bedroom apartment with garage and long lease, ideal for first-time buyers..
Newly renovated two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, move-in ready
Very long lease: 972 years remaining; peppercorn ground rent
Allocated garage and potential rear off-road parking (shed removable)
Compact overall size: 559 sq ft — economical but limited space
Electric heating only; main fuel is electricity (higher running costs possible)
Cavity walls assumed uninsulated — consider insulation improvements
Council Tax Band A; EPC rating D — affordable local bills but average efficiency
Located in a very deprived wider area — may affect resale and services
Light-filled, move-in ready two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Heysham, recently refurbished with a contemporary Howdens kitchen, new carpets and built-in storage. The bay-fronted living room and large main bedroom give a feeling of space despite the compact footprint, and practical additions such as an entrance porch and fitted wardrobes make everyday life easier from day one.
Practical benefits include an allocated garage, a small paved front seating area and a parcel of rear garden owned by the apartment (currently with a shed). That rear space could be cleared to provide off-road parking if needed. The property is leasehold with a very long 972-year term and peppercorn ground rent, and council tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs low.
Be upfront about the trade-offs: heating is by electric room heaters and the home relies on electricity for main fuel, so heating costs can be higher than mains gas alternatives. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and external cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics and local services.
This apartment suits first-time buyers, couples or downsizers seeking a low-entry, low-maintenance home close to coast and local amenities. It’s an economical, well-presented base with straightforward potential to alter the rear space for parking or add further cosmetic personalisation.
