Set on Longcroft Road and offered with no onward chain, this ground-floor apartment pairs period character with a modern finish. The property owns the freehold and benefits from an exceptionally long lease (964 years), making it a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers seeking security or investors wanting lettable flexibility. The updated bathroom and contemporary kitchen create a bright, usable living space ready to move into.
Rooms are sensibly proportioned for the apartment’s 488 sq ft footprint: a large front double, a versatile second bedroom overlooking the garden, and a central living area that flows into the compact kitchen. Direct level access to a southerly shared rear garden adds outdoor space and practical bin/store access via a gated path to Longcroft.
Practical details are favourable for lower running costs: mains gas central heating, double glazing, and very low council tax. The maintenance arrangement is ad hoc and split 50/50 with the flat above, and a modest non-enforceable ground rent of £25 applies. Pets and holiday lettings are permitted, enhancing letting potential.
Buyers should note the setting and some maintenance points. The property sits in an area classified as deprived with above-average crime rates, which may be a consideration for families or security-conscious buyers. The internal footprint is small overall and the kitchen is compact; the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean future insulation work to improve energy efficiency. Buyers are advised to confirm lease and service-charge details with their solicitor before committing.
