This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Dunsmore Avenue offers an affordable, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Set in a purpose-built 1970s brick block, the flat benefits from a large entrance hall, a generous double bedroom and a well-fitted kitchen. The communal gardens and intercom add convenience and a degree of privacy. Being chain-free, it is ready for a quick sale.
Practical running costs are competitive: an EPC rating of C, mains gas boiler and radiators, a low service charge of £75pcm and a low council tax band (Band A) make it inexpensive to own. The flat’s 89-year lease and average 49m² (approx. 528–549 sq ft) footprint suit those seeking a compact home or a rentable unit.
Buyers should note material considerations up front. The lease length (89 years) may limit mortgage options and future sale value; buyers should seek lease-extension costs and lender criteria. The building dates from 1972 and displays typical 1970s construction details—external vegetation is present and the block likely lacks modern cavity insulation. The surrounding area scores high for crime and deprivation, which may affect resale or lettability in some tenant markets.
Overall, this flat represents clear value for budget-conscious purchasers who prioritise low holding costs, immediate availability and a straightforward layout. It’s especially suitable for a first step onto the ladder or as a city-centre rental, provided buyers investigate lease extension implications and accept the local area profile.
