Allocated off-street parking space
EPC rating B; four years NHBC warranty remaining
0.5 miles to Apsley station; ~30 minutes to London Euston
Compact footprint — approx. 602 sq ft; small communal outdoor areas
Local recorded crime levels are higher than average
Best suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors
This first-floor, purpose-built flat offers a compact, well-proportioned layout across about 602 sq ft. The living room is the largest space and the two bedrooms are spacious for the size, making it a sensible choice for first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward accommodation close to transport.
Practical ownership features strengthen the long-term appeal: share of freehold, a long underlying lease, zero ground rent and a low service charge. An EPC rating of B and four years remaining on the NHBC warranty add reassurance on energy performance and build quality. The property includes an allocated off-street parking space and sits 0.5 miles from Apsley station with a typical 30-minute journey into London Euston — a clear commuter advantage.
The setting is a modern red-brick development with modest communal planting and a small communal forecourt. Outdoor space is limited and the private garden footprint is small, so this is best suited to buyers who prioritise transport and low-maintenance living over large grounds. A light refresh or updating of the kitchen and bathroom could improve rental yield or resale value.
Be aware of local context: recorded crime levels are higher than average, and the overall property footprint is compact — not suited to buyers needing extensive storage or large family accommodation. Service charge averages £1,164 annually; council tax is described as affordable. These are practical costs to factor into monthly budgeting.
