Set on the upper floor of a post‑war terrace in Balgreen, this compact two‑bedroom home suits first‑time buyers and investors seeking straightforward city living. The apartment is bright, with a generous lounge/diner and a modern fitted kitchen featuring integrated white goods and under‑unit lighting. Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and a part‑floored attic for additional storage.
Outside, the property benefits from a private rear garden with a slabbed patio, wooden pergola and two storage sheds, plus off‑street parking for one car and plentiful free on‑street visitor parking. Local amenities and frequent transport links are close by, making commuting and daily errands convenient. Council Tax Band C is described as affordable.
The flat is freehold and compact at about 543 sq ft, so living space is efficient rather than expansive — this is an important consideration for buyers needing larger rooms or extensive storage. The surrounding area is described as very deprived, which may affect long‑term resale values and should be weighed by purchasers and investors. The property appears well maintained internally but is best suited to those accepting modest square footage and the local area context.
Overall, this upper apartment offers a ready‑to‑move‑into base with useful outdoor space and parking, strong transport links and low running costs. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising location and convenience over larger floorplans.
