Light-filled one-bedroom flat in a modern low-rise block on Ashwood Close, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser seeking a low-entry purchase. The layout makes the most of 388 sq ft with a roomy reception, double-glazed windows, and an allocated off-street parking space — useful in a busy town location. Heating is electric storage, and the property is electrically powered, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes.
The long lease (131 years) and clear service charge and ground rent figures give purchase certainty: service charge about £1,152.10 per year and ground rent £130.24 per year. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing bills low. The block was built in the early 2000s and presents straightforward, modern brick construction with insulated cavity walls.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood: local deprivation indicators and a high local crime rate mean the area is improving but not yet settled. Transport links, nearby shops, schools (several rated Good), and allocated parking provide practical everyday convenience. For someone prioritising affordability, easy maintenance and parking, this flat is a sensible, well-specified option.
