This first-floor, two-bedroom flat in Wyedale offers larger-than-average rooms for a property of its size and a long lease, making it well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking low ongoing costs. The apartment has been recently redecorated with new carpets, a new boiler (Oct 2024) and double glazing installed in 2018, so it’s largely move-in ready. Residents parking and communal grounds add practical appeal, while shops and transport links are on the doorstep.
Accommodation is straightforward and efficient: an 18' lounge/diner provides the main living space, a compact but modern U-shaped kitchen maximises usability, and bedroom one is notably spacious. The flat sits in a mid-20th-century block set among mature landscaping, which helps soften the urban setting and provides pleasant communal green space.
Buyers should note the property’s modest overall footprint (circa 560 sq ft) and the smaller second bedroom and kitchen — good for occasional use, home office, or single-occupant setups but tighter for a larger family. Local crime levels are reported as very high; purchasers will want to factor this into personal security and insurance considerations. Service charges are low (around £66pcm) and the lease is long (roughly 145 years remaining), with zero ground rent, which supports long-term value and mortgageability.
Overall this flat represents a practical, affordable entry into AL2 with strong transport and local amenities. It’s a sensible choice for first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in home with scope for cosmetic upgrades, or for investors seeking a low-maintenance asset with long lease security.
