Chain-free two-bedroom flat with long lease and communal garden — ideal first-time buy or investment..
Two double bedrooms and spacious 20ft living room
A chain-free upper-floor flat offering two double bedrooms and a large lounge — an accessible step onto the property ladder. The 786 sq ft layout includes a generous kitchen/diner, good built-in storage and access to well-kept communal gardens, making it a practical home for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Set in a 1960s brick block on Kennerleigh Road, the flat benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Local shops and frequent bus routes are within easy walking distance, and the long lease (c.934 years) removes a common leasehold concern.
Buyers should note some material points: the property is leasehold with a relatively high annual ground rent of £600, the wider area records above-average crime and high deprivation, and the building dates from the late 1960s which may mean future maintenance or modernization is needed (for example, cavity walls are assumed uninsulated). Services and appliances have not been tested — a survey is recommended.
Overall, this flat presents clear value for someone looking to buy with minimal chain delays: a roomy, well-located home with long lease security and scope to personalise, balanced against area safety and maintenance considerations buyers should factor into their offer.
