- Long lease: 215 years from April 1982
- No onward chain, quick and straightforward sale potential
- Short walk to mainline station and Station Road amenities
- Service charge approx £1,202 per annum; ground rent £10 pa

- Minimal garden and roadside parking rather than allocated space
- Local area records higher-than-average crime rates
A compact, well-laid-out ground-floor flat on Beresford Road, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking easy access to transport. The layout uses its c.489 sq ft efficiently: a large lounge/diner, double bedroom, modern fitted kitchen and bathroom provide comfortable everyday living without wasted space. The long lease (215 years) and no onward chain simplify purchase planning.
Practical running costs are competitive: low ground rent (£10 pa), service charge around £1,202 pa and council tax Band B. The building benefits from double glazing (installed post-2002), gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. A short walk delivers frequent mainline services and a selection of shops, bars and restaurants on Station Road.
Notable negatives are factual and should inform viewing decisions. The area records higher-than-average local crime, and the garden is minimal rather than private outdoor space. Parking is roadside rather than allocated, and the flat is a modest size by modern standards, so it suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family needing extra rooms.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, low-hassle starter home: secure purchase with a long lease and straightforward running costs, well placed for commuters but best suited to buyers who prioritise location and affordability over large outdoor space.
