Open-plan kitchen/living with glazed roof light and double doors

Set within an attractive modern-Georgian development, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers easy, low-maintenance living with excellent commuter links. A private south-facing courtyard and allocated parking add practical outdoor space, while gated access leads to a secluded communal garden for residents. The open-plan kitchen/living room with glazed roof light feels bright and works well for relaxed entertaining or everyday life.
Practical details include gas central heating via a modern combi boiler, double glazing, a long lease (176 years remaining) and share of freehold ownership. The apartment is sold chain-free and vacant, making it straightforward to move into or let out quickly. Internal layout is well proportioned for the size, with built-in wardrobes to both bedrooms and a useful walk-in store off the private covered entrance.
Notable drawbacks are the area’s higher recorded crime levels and the local housing profile (private renting/new arrivals), which may influence future resale or rental demand. Bedroom two and the bathroom are compact, so buyers needing larger second bedrooms should check measurements. Double glazing predates 2002 so some windows may be older than modern standards. Ground rent is modest at £100 per year and council tax is described as low.
Overall this chain-free, accessible apartment suits first-time buyers, local commuters or small-scale investors wanting a manageable, well-located home with outdoor space and parking. It offers clear potential with minimal immediate maintenance, though buyers should factor the local area profile and room sizes into their decision.
