This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in a modern low-rise block in leafy Porthill, set around maintained communal grounds with an allocated off-street parking space. The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen maximise the 582 sqft layout, while UPVC double glazing and electric storage heaters provide low-maintenance comfort. Constructed in the early 2000s, the building presents a tidy, contemporary finish throughout.
Practical running costs include a ground rent of £150 per year and an average service charge of £1,920 per year (about £160 pcm). The property is leasehold with 106 years remaining, council tax band A, and mains services connected. These are important ownership details for buyers to factor into affordability and long-term plans.
Accommodation comprises an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, two bedrooms, a master en-suite and a separate bathroom. The layout and local rental demand make the flat suitable for first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance home or investors looking for a straightforward buy-to-let in an affluent, low-crime area with good transport links to the A500 and A34.
Notable limitations include electric heating only (storage heaters and electric radiators) and a relatively small overall footprint, which may not suit buyers needing larger living space. Broadband speeds are average and there is a communal-retirement character to the development, so space and long-term lifestyle expectations should be checked before viewing.
