This first-floor, two-bedroom purpose-built flat offers a practical, low-maintenance home in a modern brick block close to local shops, schools and transport links. The sitting/dining room is the property’s focal point with a Juliette balcony and good natural light; both bedrooms are double-sized and the kitchen and bathroom are clean and serviceable. Allocated parking and visitor spaces add convenience in a development with secure communal entry.
The flat is presented in good order and is ready for immediate occupation; it is offered chain free which simplifies a swift purchase. The property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a straightforward, manageable investment in an affluent, well-served area. At around 645 sq ft the layout is typical for modern apartments and will appeal to those wanting a practical two-bedroom home without garden maintenance.
Buyers should note the property uses electric storage heating which can increase running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The lease was granted in 2004 and the balance is long, but the ground rent is currently £125 per year and is set to double every 25 years — an important future cost to be aware of. The management charge for 2023 was £1,338 which covers communal upkeep and should be factored into affordability calculations.
Overall this is a well-located, uncomplicated flat with immediate occupation possible and sensible long-term prospects given the long lease and EPC C rating. It represents clear value for buyers who prioritise location, low external maintenance and off-street parking, provided they accept the electric heating and ongoing service/ground rent charges.
