This second-floor two-bedroom flat in Sandhills Court offers an affordable entry into Whitehaven living with practical, modern interiors. The open reception and updated kitchen create a bright, usable space for everyday life, while two double bedrooms suit sharers or a small family. EPC C and gas central heating provide reasonable energy performance and year-round comfort.
Practical benefits include two allocated off-street parking spaces, a very long lease (circa 964 years remaining), and low ground rent. Service charges are around £1,200 annually (£100pcm), and council tax sits at Band A, keeping running costs predictable for a new buyer or investor.
Be realistic about the context: the building sits on the outskirts of the town centre in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate. The flat is modest in total size (about 592 sq ft) and will suit buyers prioritising location and value over generous room sizes or a rural/sea view. Buyers should arrange their own checks on appliances and the heating system, as these have not been independently tested.
For first-time buyers or those downsizing, this property represents an economical, low-maintenance base with good transport links and nearby amenities. For investors, straightforward layout and rental appeal are positives, but the local social and crime statistics should factor into any letting strategy.
