This compact two-bedroom top-floor apartment sits in a central spot on Castle Road, adjacent to the canal and within easy walking distance of shops, buses and local schools. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from large windows and modern fixtures; double glazing and electric heaters help with comfort. An allocated off-street parking bay is included — a practical asset in a central location.
The flat is small (approximately 342 sq ft) and best suited to a first-time buyer, single occupant or couple seeking a low-entry purchase. Constructed 2007–2011, the property presents straightforward accommodation with an entrance hallway, open living/kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Council tax is low (Band A), which helps keep running costs down.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and lease details are being compiled — additional costs such as lease packs or service charges may apply. Heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas), and the area has a medium flood risk and higher-than-average local crime, both relevant to insurance and safety considerations. The apartment’s compact size and top-floor location (access by stairs) limit mobility access and storage.
This apartment offers a low-cost route onto the market in a central canal-side location with rental or starter-home potential. Buyers should verify lease length, service charges and commission a survey, particularly because of flood risk, local crime statistics and the electric heating arrangement.
