This one-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers a rare private walled garden and patio, creating valuable outdoor space for a flat of this size. The open-plan living room and kitchen benefit from sliding doors that bring light and provide direct garden access — an unusual feature for a ground-floor unit.
The accommodation is compact (approximately 410 sq ft) and suits a single occupant, couple, downsizer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance property in a well-connected area. Local amenities, schools and transport links are all within easy walking distance, and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
There are important practical considerations: the lease has about 54 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage options and could require lease extension or specialist lending. The area records very high crime levels, which buyers should factor into security and insurance decisions. Council tax is low, but potential buyers should allow for any additional leasehold fees and check service charge details.
