Average local crime; ‘hard-pressed rented terraces’ classification
Quiet ground-floor one-bedroom flat presented in good order and offered as a straightforward investment or starter home. The living space is bright with laminate flooring and a medium-sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, while a modern bathroom and a compact kitchen provide practical, low-maintenance accommodation. A private patio and on-street/suburban parking add everyday convenience.
The property is leasehold with 99 years remaining and sits in a predominantly rented, hard-pressed area. EPC C and mains gas central heating are positives for running costs, and council tax is Band A (very cheap), which supports tenancy demand. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong in this location.
Buyers should note the local area is classified as deprived with average crime levels and “challenged white communities” in the immediate locality; this will affect rental values and resale expectations. The building dates from 1976–1982 and has double glazing and filled cavity walls, but no recent major upgrades are recorded. Ground-floor position suits tenants who prefer step-free access but garden space is limited to the private patio.
Overall this is a compact, low-upkeep apartment that will appeal to investors seeking a low-entry purchase or buyers wanting a simple, furnished home. Its main attractions are affordability, ready-to-rent condition, and low running costs; its limitations are the neighbourhood profile and tenure type, which should be factored into investment appraisals.
