This compact two-bedroom first-floor flat offers practical, modern living in CF5. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a flexible living area suited to everyday life and small-scale entertaining. One double and one small double bedroom give adaptable sleeping or home-working options within a 411 sq ft footprint.
Built between 2007–2011, the property benefits from double glazing and contemporary finishes, with off-street parking included — a useful rarity in the area. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity; buyers should expect higher running costs than gas-heated homes.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with approximately 63 years remaining. That limited term may make mortgage approval difficult and could restrict buyer options; some lenders may refuse mortgage offers. The neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, so buyers should weigh local social and safety factors alongside price and transport convenience.
This apartment is well suited to an informed first-time buyer prepared to accept a compact home and the lease constraints, or to a cash buyer/investor able to manage legal and mortgage implications. The location has excellent public transport links, nearby green space and local schools — practical strengths for commuting or letting — but the lease length and area profile are material drawbacks to factor into any offer.
