A freshly refurbished two-bedroom ground-floor flat offering 747 sq ft of ready-to-move-in space in a quiet Petteril street. The property has a new fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer and washing machine, a re-fitted bathroom, new radiators and new flooring throughout. Natural light floods the lounge/diner and French doors open onto a communal garden.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or investors: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed post-2002), very low council tax and no flooding risk. The flat is leasehold with 82 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £10 (details unknown) — buyers should check lease terms and any service charges before purchase.
The wider area is described as deprived with blue-collar terraces, though local crime levels are low and several Good-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Transport and local amenities are close by (bus stops, shops, pharmacy and leisure facilities), with excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds.
This property is attractive for anyone wanting a low-entry purchase that’s habitable right away or for a straightforward rental. The communal garden, ground-floor access and recent refurbishment reduce immediate maintenance needs, but the limited lease length and area deprivation are material considerations for long-term value.
