Affordable starter home with private storage and woodland outlook.
Chain free one-bedroom ground-floor flat, about 539 sq ft
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers practical, ready-to-move-in accommodation of about 539 sq ft, suited to first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward rental let. The living room and double bedroom receive good natural light through double-glazed windows; heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. A private ground-level storage shed and resident laundry room add useful storage and convenience.
Set in a mid-20th-century walk-up block from the late 1960s–1970s, the property sits overlooking a woodland area, giving a degree of privacy and calm. The flat benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low council tax, which support modern living and rental appeal. There is no flood risk and crime levels are average for the city.
Important practical points: the building is a system-built construction likely without cavity wall insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades. The property is leasehold and sold chain free. The wider neighbourhood is classed as deprived which can affect long-term capital growth and buyer demand, although several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby.
For investors, the flat’s modest price and rental potential make it attractive, particularly given the low running tax cost and ready broadband. For owner-occupiers, it’s a compact, cost-efficient starter home in a quiet setting, but consider medium-term refurbishment to improve insulation and energy performance.
