Set on The Lakes development, this neatly presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment makes an economical step onto the property ladder or a low-maintenance downsizing choice. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner opens to a balcony with lake views, giving the living space a bright, sociable feel ideal for relaxed entertaining or working from home.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and there is a separate shower room for guests. The flat includes an allocated parking space and access to communal gardens. Built in the mid-2000s and double-glazed, the apartment is well insulated and heated by a gas boiler and radiators.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining of 979 years), with an average annual service charge of £2,537 and a small ground rent of £250. The apartment is compact at around 468 sq ft, so it will suit buyers wanting a manageable space rather than a family-sized home. There is a high flood risk for the area — buyers should investigate flood cover and mitigation, and verify all tenure and service details with their solicitor.
Positioned within walking distance of Tesco, local medical services and Larkfield Leisure Centre, and with good road and rail links, this apartment offers straightforward living with strong local amenities and potential for rental or resale demand in this comfortable neighbourhood.
