Step into a practical, low-maintenance ground-floor apartment on the popular Abbotswood Estate. The dual-aspect open-plan living and dining area brings natural light into a flexible social space, while two double bedrooms (main with en-suite) suit sharers or first-time buyers wanting separate sleeping space. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are a notable convenience for modern living.
The building is a modern purpose-built block with straightforward communal grounds and an efficient layout. At about 646 sq ft the accommodation is average in size but arranged for comfortable day-to-day living. Heating is by boiler and radiators and mobile signal is excellent — useful for home working — while broadband speeds are average.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold (long lease remaining), with an annual service charge of about £1,879. The living room shows signs of dated decoration and would benefit from modernisation to maximise appeal and value. Council tax band is inexpensive, and there is no local flooding risk.
Overall this apartment will suit a first-time buyer looking for an accessible, low-maintenance home in an affluent area, or an investor after a straightforward, lettable two-bedroom unit. The long lease and two parking spaces are genuine strengths, though a modest refresh would improve comfort and resale potential.
