This well-presented first-floor apartment sits on the desirable Lakes development and makes a confident step onto the property ladder. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner flows to a balcony with pleasant lake views, creating a sociable space for entertaining or relaxed evenings at home. At about 468 sq ft the accommodation is compact but cleverly laid out, with two bedrooms and both an en-suite bathroom and a separate shower room.
Practical day-to-day life is straightforward here: an allocated parking space, communal gardens, nearby Tesco superstore, doctors and Larkfield Leisure Centre are all within walking distance. Commuters benefit from good road links and rail connections within easy reach. The building dates from the early 2000s and has double glazing and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Buyers should be clear about the key running costs and risks. The property is leasehold (very long lease remaining: 979 years) with an average service charge of £2,537 per year and a small annual ground rent of £250. There is a high flooding risk for the area — this is a material issue to investigate with your surveyor and insurer before purchase.
This flat will suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home with waterside appeal and practical local amenities. It is presented ready to move into but, given the compact size, buyers should consider storage solutions and inspect the property in person to judge layout and finish for their needs.
