This ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a tidy, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The accommodation includes a double bedroom, a good-sized lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom — all presented in neutral contemporary style. Allocated front and rear gardens with outside storage add useful private outdoor space rarely found with flats.
Practical running costs are reasonable: gas central heating, double glazing, a very low ground rent (£10) and a below-average service charge (£351). The long lease (116 years remaining) gives security for mortgage lenders and future resale. Local amenities, shops and good schools are within easy reach, and the flat sits in a low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Be aware of the property’s limitations: the overall footprint is modest (approximately 452 sq ft) so space is limited compared with larger flats or houses. The block dates from the 1950s–60s, so while presented well, buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and check the condition of fittings, electrics and boiler themselves. The wider area scores as relatively deprived, which may affect resale timing and rental demand depending on market trends.
For a buyer seeking a straightforward, affordable entry onto the housing ladder or an investor wanting a let-ready one-bed with private garden, this flat represents clear value. Early viewing will show how the compact layout and outside space meet your needs.
