This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a straightforward, low-maintenance addition to an investment portfolio or a first-step purchase. The property is chain-free and sits in a purpose-built development with secure intercom access and a long lease of 978 years — reducing long-term tenure risk.
Inside, the layout is traditional with a spacious through-lounge, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with storage, and a family bathroom. The home is modern in construction (2003–2006) and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
Practical considerations: the overall size is small (approximately 577 sq ft), there is no private garden or garage, and local broadband speeds are slow. The local area scores as deprived with mixed school outcomes nearby, which may affect tenant demand or resale premiums. Ground rent is modest at £50 and council tax is in a very cheap band A.
For investors, the combination of long lease, no onward chain and straightforward layout supports rental readiness with minimal immediate capital work. First-time buyers should note the compact footprint and local-area challenges alongside the property’s low running costs and secure entrance.
