This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in the Quintondale block offers practical, low-maintenance living with a private balcony and pleasant communal gardens. The generous lounge/diner and two double bedrooms suit a couple or small family seeking a well-presented home near Shirley’s shops, eateries and transport links. The fitted kitchen and modern bathroom reduce immediate upgrade costs, and the included garage en-bloc plus residents’ parking add useful storage and parking convenience.
Occupying an average-sized 691 sq ft floorplate, the flat is bright with good natural light to the main living room and front bedroom. Built mid‑20th century and kept in tidy condition, it benefits from a long lease (around 136 years) and straightforward access to bus and rail services and nearby supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities — practical features for daily life and rental appeal.
Notable practicalities: heating is by wall-mounted electric heaters and an electric fire suite, which buyers should consider for running costs. The property is leasehold with a combined service charge and ground rent of about £2,900 per year. The development is in an area recorded with very high local crime levels, so purchasers should factor security and insurance considerations into their decision.
Overall, this apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a move-in-ready flat with outside space, parking and a long lease. It presents a balance of convenience and low maintenance, while prospective buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and potentially higher electric heating costs.
