Offered with no onward chain, it combines modern fittings, lift access and gated permit parking for practical town living. The open-plan lounge/kitchen includes white goods to remain and double glazing installed after 2002.
The property is marketed with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s: a guide Lifetime Lease price is £99,500 (market value £150,000). The Lifetime Lease lets buyers buy a share of the property (up to 50%) and typically gives savings of 20–50% depending on age and circumstances. If you are not eligible or prefer, the full market purchase route at £150,000 remains available.
Practical considerations are clear: the apartment is small (circa 378 sq ft) and ranked in a mixed-use, higher-crime area. Service charge averages about £1,500pa and ground rent is £100pa; broadband speeds are very slow. The lease has about 104 years remaining and tenure is leasehold — buyers must verify lease terms and service arrangements.
This will suit a buyer seeking low-maintenance town-centre living or a retirement purchaser wanting proximity to transport and shops. It offers immediate occupation potential but limited space and some running-cost trade-offs; viewings will show whether the layout and local environment match your needs.
