Conflicting heating details — confirm fuel type and servicing
A smart, newly renovated one-bedroom first-floor flat arranged around an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, well suited to a single buyer or couple seeking low-maintenance accommodation. The double bedroom is a good size for the property and an additional small room provides a workable home office or useful storage. Communal grounds and residents’ parking add practical value in a quiet, town-fringe setting.
Important lease and energy notes: the flat is leasehold with c.83 years remaining — this is short enough to affect mortgageability and resale value and will likely need a lease extension sooner rather than later. The listing contains conflicting heating information (both mains-gas boiler and electric heating are referenced); buyers should confirm the actual heating system and recent service history before committing. EPC rating E is confirmed.
Running costs are modest: a low service charge (£396 pa) and ground rent (£10 pa) are recorded, with council tax in a low band (B). Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong — ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal — supporting home working. The property is presented in modern finishes throughout and offers an estimated buy-to-let yield of 6.9%, making it attractive to investors aware of the lease length.
In summary: tidy, renovated first-floor flat with practical parking and good connectivity, but buyers should factor in the short lease and clarify the heating arrangement before viewing.
