A bright, contemporary ground-floor apartment in the Mercury House development, ideal for a commuter or first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base. The open-plan living/kitchen has engineered wood floors, integrated Siemens appliances and a private patio for outdoor space. A communal roof terrace and allocated off-street parking add practical benefits rarely found at this size.
The property is chain-free and offered with a long lease (approximately 144 years remaining), making it straightforward to purchase. It's a short, level walk to the mainline station (approx. 28 minutes to London King’s Cross) and within easy reach of the town centre, shops and local business parks — convenient for work and everyday needs.
Be clear about the costs and context: service charges average £1,470 per year and ground rent is £150, which affect running costs. Heating is electric (boiler and underfloor) so energy use should be considered. The wider area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators; buyers should view in person to assess neighbourhood fit.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment that suits a commuter, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate occupancy and low refurbishment needs. It offers good transport links and secure parking, balanced against ongoing service charges and local-area considerations.
