This ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, move-in-ready home with clear running-cost advantages. A modern fitted kitchen (installed four years ago), gas central heating with a 2017 boiler, and double glazing make the apartment comfortable and economical to run. The private front patio and communal drying green add low-maintenance outdoor space without garden upkeep.
Accommodation is modest but well presented: a bright living room with an electric fireplace, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a contemporary shower room. The building has secure entry and the property is freehold, which removes block-ownership complexity sometimes found with flats. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — convenient for home working and streaming.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: internal living space is small-to-average (approximately 535 sq ft) and parking is on-street only. The immediate area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand profiles. The exterior is typical period pebble-dash and communal areas are shared, so prospective buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance costs.
Overall, this flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a practical, low-maintenance city base or an investor wanting straightforward rental stock. It offers sensible, ready-made fixtures and low council tax running costs, balanced against compact living space and a location with economic challenges.
