A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment that suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking straightforward, low-maintenance living. The lounge is a generous 17' x 10' with light from dual aspects, and the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes to maximise storage. The fitted kitchen has space for essential appliances and the bathroom is a standard three-piece suite.
The development offers communal gardens and an off-street car park, and the location is within walking distance of local shops and transport links. Council tax band is modest and broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting both home working and everyday needs.
Buyers should note the lease detail: the current term is 65 years but will be extended to 155 years on completion. Some lenders can be cautious about short lease terms prior to legal completion, so prospective purchasers should check mortgage eligibility early. Service charge is about £127 pcm and ground rent is £90 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and windows have secondary glazing — suitable but not as economical as mains gas central heating.
Overall this apartment is a practical, chain-free purchase with clear running costs and immediate availability, ideal for someone seeking an affordable, well-located home or a simple rental investment, provided they confirm finance options given the lease situation.
