Summary - 38 FIRBANK CLOSE ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE OL7 0AD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable, low-maintenance flat with parking and long lease for first-time buyers.
Chain-free first-floor two-bedroom apartment with small third room
A chain-free, first-floor two-bedroom apartment with a small third room for a utility or study, set within a modern purpose-built block. The block sits behind established communal planting with allocated and visitor parking, and easy access to local transport links and major motorways — useful for commuters.
Internally the flat offers practical, low-maintenance accommodation across about 818 sq ft. The living space is light and functional; the long lease (155 years remaining) and modest service charge (£776pa) make this a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a landlord seeking a low-management investment.
There are clear updating needs: the kitchen is dated (1970s/1980s style) and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which may affect running costs. The property is leasehold with a small ground rent (£160pa) and sits in an area with higher deprivation, though local crime is very low and schools nearby include several rated Good or Outstanding.
Overall this apartment suits someone wanting an affordable, chain-free entry to ownership or a buy-to-let with minimal communal maintenance. Be prepared to budget for kitchen renewal and an improved heating solution to modernise the home and reduce future energy costs.
