Excellent transport links, dedicated cycling routes and proximity to city amenities make day-to-day life simple. Local schooling includes highly rated secondary options within easy reach.
Important practical points are clear and simple: the home is leasehold, so buyers should confirm the lease length and any service charges. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has cavity walls assumed without added insulation — upgrading could improve thermal comfort and running costs. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators.
Overall this is a tidy, modern-feeling apartment in a peaceful cul-de-sac that balances convenience with long-term potential. Buyers wanting more space or modern energy performance should factor possible improvement works into their plans.
