Buyers should note the apartment is small at around 388 sq ft and is heated by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs than gas heating.

Positively, the property is chain free and comes with a very long lease (approximately 258 years), reducing immediate transaction risk. Overall this is a practical, affordable entry into the local market for those prioritising a low-maintenance home or an income-producing investment, provided they accept the local area challenges and potential running-cost implications.
