- Off-street parking to the rear

This newly refurbished one-bedroom flat occupies a second-floor position in the heart of Hednesford, directly opposite the railway station and within easy walking distance of shops, cafes and bus links. The interior has been reconfigured to an open-plan layout with a modern kitchen, bright living space and a compact bedroom — ready to move into with no immediate works required.
The property is offered with a sitting tenant paying £625 pcm (approximately 11.5% gross yield at the asking price), making it a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. Practical perks include off-street parking to the rear, double glazing and a long lease of 117 years. Annual costs are modest: a below-average service charge of £900 and a small ground rent of £50; council tax is very low in this band.
Buyer considerations: the flat is small (around 406 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s timber-frame walls are understood to lack insulation, which could affect running costs and comfort in colder months. The property is leasehold, and it will be sold with the tenant in situ.
Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance urban apartment that will appeal to investors seeking an immediately let asset and to first-time buyers wanting a well-presented, transport-linked home. Its location and recent refurbishment are the main strengths; size and electric heating are the principal trade-offs to note.
