This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers a spacious lounge, large bedroom and practical layout across approximately 840 sq ft — unusual size for a one-bed. Presented chain-free and ready to occupy, it suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an immediate let. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and generous built-in storage.
Situated in a quiet location with a rear paved courtyard, the apartment is part of a 1970s/1980s-built block and has a sensible 96-year remaining lease and low ground rent. Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signals are reported strong — useful for home working or renting to tenants.
Buyers should note the wider area shows signs of high deprivation and above-average crime; this will affect resale and rental demand and may influence mortgage or insurance considerations. The building is of mid-terrace/brutalist style from the period and external maintenance or communal repairs could be a future cost — no major structural issues are stated but buyers should verify service records and planned works.
Overall this property represents an affordable, ready-to-move-in option with scope to add value through cosmetic updating. It’s particularly well suited to someone seeking a low-maintenance main residence or a buy-to-let with immediate income potential, provided they factor local area challenges into their plans.
