Handy for first-time buyers, this two-bedroom upper flat on Shire Way offers practical living with private outdoor space and allocated parking. Rooms are bright with a generously sized lounge and two double bedrooms; the layout suits a starter home or small family seeking straightforward accommodation. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting home working and streaming.
The property is freehold, council tax band B and has no flood risk. There is scope to update finishes and services — the EPC is D and the vendor notes some areas could benefit from refresh or modernisation. The Home Report guide value is £85,000 and the asking price reflects a realistic entry point into the local market.
Location strengths include good commuter links, nearby shops, playground and leisure facilities, and simple access to local schools. Note the wider area is classified as a transitional eastern European neighbourhood and the locality shows higher deprivation levels; buyers should consider local area factors alongside the property’s practical benefits.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, compact two-bedroom flat with outside space and parking — a sensible project for first-time buyers, downsizers wanting low-maintenance grounds, or investors targeting rental demand in a commuter location.
