This compact first-floor flat on Main Street offers a straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership or a buy-to-let in central Broughton Astley. The open-plan living/kitchen, one bedroom and bathroom make efficient use of 428 sq ft, with large windows bringing daylight and a pleasant outlook over a paved, tree-lined area.
Practical conveniences include an allocated off-street parking space, UPVC double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — assets for everyday living and letting. The property is chain-free and sits close to shops, cafes, a pharmacy and regular bus services, so everything is literally on your doorstep.
Notable costs and constraints are the leasehold status (87 years remaining) and an average service charge of £1,196 a year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building dates from the late 1970s to early 1980s, so buyers should expect some updating; carpets show wear and fittings are basic. Crime levels in the area are above average, which may concern some buyers or renters.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer seeking a low-entry central location or an investor after a small, easy-to-manage unit. For purchasers planning longer-term ownership or refinancing, consider the lease length and potential refurbishment costs when calculating value and mortgage eligibility.
