Compact, modern flat near shops and transport for practical first-time buyers.
Allocated off-street parking to the rear
This well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Balmoral House offers a compact, low-maintenance home close to Whiteley Shopping Centre, local schools and good transport links. The apartment has a bright lounge with a walk-in bay window, a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in storage, and allocated parking to the rear — practical features for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers.
The building is a modern red-brick development (constructed c.1996–2002) with double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The flat’s footprint is modest at about 535 sq ft, making it economical to run; council tax is described as affordable and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with about 133 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £2,800 per annum and a ground rent of about £170 per annum. Crime in the immediate area is reported as above average — worth checking locally for reassurance. The apartment is described as improved and move-in ready, but the small overall size limits storage and living space compared with larger two-bedroom homes.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a nearby shopping centre, good broadband and transport links, or investors wanting a straightforward let. The combination of long lease, allocated parking and modern construction are strengths; be mindful of running costs (service charge and ground rent) and the local crime statistic when assessing suitability.
