This two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living in a quiet suburban street. The bright living room, modern kitchen with integrated appliances and built-in bedroom wardrobes make it move-in ready for a buyer seeking straightforward accommodation. With an Energy Performance Certificate of C and double glazing fitted after 2002, the property is relatively efficient for its age (constructed 1976–1982).
The long lease (165 years) and modest ground rent (£25) provide long-term security uncommon for many leasehold homes, while off-street parking and a small front garden add everyday convenience. The flat’s footprint of about 624 sq ft suits first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors wanting a compact, manageable home.
Buyers should note some local and site-specific issues: the area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels and a medium flood risk. These factors may affect insurance costs and resale prospects; they are important to consider alongside the property’s benefits. Services are mains gas with a boiler and radiators; cavity walls have partial insulation (assumed). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote work and connectivity.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented property for someone prioritising convenience, efficiency and a long lease. It is best suited to first-time buyers or investors who will factor in local risk indicators and potential future maintenance needs.
