Chain-free, newly refreshed one-bedroom with long lease and parking.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with bay-windowed L-shaped living area
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom flat with a bright L-shaped living room and bay window — ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance starter home. The interior has been recently refreshed: new double-glazed UPVC windows, a newly renovated family bathroom with bath and shower, and a newly installed hot-water tank. The bedroom is a true double with integrated wardrobe space and there’s a useful storage cupboard in the hall.
Practical features include a covered, allocated parking space, a very long lease (964 years remaining) and peppercorn ground rent. Service charges for the year to 31/12/2025 are £1,529.31 (includes buildings insurance and reserve fund contribution). The flat is all-electric (no gas) which simplifies servicing but may affect running costs depending on heating choice.
Location is convenient for local amenities and approximately ten minutes by car from Lakeside shopping centre; nearby schools include an Outstanding primary and a Good secondary. Important local considerations: the wider area scores as deprived, crime levels are recorded as high, and broadband speeds are described as slow—factors to weigh for homeworking or security-sensitive buyers.
This is a small property (approx. 378 sq ft) offered chain free and sold vacant on completion. It will suit a buyer wanting a ready-to-move-in, low-maintenance flat or an investor looking for a straightforward lettable unit, provided they accept the compact footprint and local area issues.
