Situated on the first floor of Sumner House, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, modern home a short walk from High Wycombe town centre and the train station. The open-plan kitchen/living area is bright and efficient, suitable for everyday living or a straightforward rental layout. Secure gated parking and lift access add practical convenience.
This is a practical purchase for a first-time buyer seeking a low-entry property or an investor targeting strong rental returns; the listing advises an estimated gross yield of over 6% and potential rent of around £1,000 pcm. The property is chain-free and comes with 116 years remaining on the lease, with EPC band C and Council Tax band B.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of approximately £2,173 and ground rent of £338. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can increase energy costs. The apartment is small (around 378 sq ft) and most suited to an individual or couple rather than a family.
The wider neighbourhood is a busy, cosmopolitan area close to shops, eateries and the station, which is excellent for commuters. However, recorded local crime levels are very high; prospective purchasers should factor location-specific safety measures and insurance considerations into their decision. Lease details supplied by the seller should be confirmed by a solicitor before exchange.
