This duplex two-bedroom apartment offers modern, compact living across two floors in the Sonora Fields development. The open-plan upper floor provides a bright living and kitchen area, while two well-sized double bedrooms and a bathroom are arranged on the lower level — a practical layout for first-time buyers or downsizers.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, communal storage, and easy access to the A249 and M2 for commuters. The property is leasehold with approximately 110 years remaining, an EPC rating of C (77), and Council Tax Band B — overall running costs are reasonable aside from block charges.
Buyers should note the above-average annual service charge of £4,568.29, which the vendor states covers gas, electric and water via a community scheme; ground rent is £135 per year. The flat is relatively small at 534 sq ft, so it suits those wanting low-maintenance city-edge living rather than large-family accommodation.
This home represents a straightforward purchase for buyers seeking a modern, low-upkeep property near transport links and local amenities. It also offers potential for investor rental income in a private-renting neighbourhood, but factor the service charge and communal heating arrangement into affordability calculations.
