Entrance-level two-bedroom flat on Ann Street offering straightforward access to local transport and amenities. The layout features a modern kitchen with integrated oven and breakfast bar, a spacious living room with a fireplace and built-in storage, plus a shower room and two bedrooms sized for comfortable everyday living. The long lease (959 years) and very low council tax help keep ongoing costs down.
Practical aspects suit buyers seeking an affordable starter home or a buy-to-let near the metro — the location has excellent public transport links (bus outside, metro within five minutes) and fast broadband. The property is mid-terrace, built between 1930–1949, with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the flat is small overall, in a neighbourhood with above-average crime rates and wider area deprivation. The rear is a shared concrete yard with on-street parking only. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) and there are visual signs at the rear that suggest potential damp risk; further inspection is recommended. This is a pragmatic, low-cost purchase with obvious scope for cosmetic updates and modest refurbishment to increase value.
