This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor in the heart of West End, offering a ready-to-move-in home for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing. The flat has been recently renovated with new electrics, new storage heaters and a modern kitchen and bathroom, so immediate maintenance is minimal. The bright 20ft lounge/diner and built-in bedroom wardrobes make efficient use of the 466 sq ft layout.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking plus two visitor bays, communal gardens, and a good local network of shops, schools and transport links. The property is in a sought-after High Street location with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or streaming — and council tax is in the lower Band B.
Buyers should note the lease details: 92 years remain, and the service charge is approximately £1,098 per year; both should be checked with a conveyancer before purchase. The surrounding area is described as ageing urban communities with above-average recorded crime, which may be a consideration for some purchasers.
Overall this apartment offers a low-maintenance, modern first home or an opportunity for a buy-to-let in a desirable village-high-street location. Its recently upgraded services and central location reduce immediate costs, while the lease length and service charge are the main longer-term considerations.
