This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Mill Street offers a compact, central base for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property is chain-free and sits on a long lease (133 years), with a private garage — a rare perk in town-centre blocks. An Energy Rating of C is better than many older flats, and the layout includes an open sitting room with a small Juliette balcony.
The flat is modest in footprint (about 517 sq ft) and best suited to buyers seeking low‑maintenance, town-centre living rather than large family accommodation. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which are functional but can be more expensive than gas systems; prospective buyers should assess running costs. There is no private garden and communal grounds are small.
Ongoing costs are material: an average annual service charge of £1,717 and ground rent of £162 apply. The wider area shows higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, so viewings should include a local neighbourhood check. Overall, this is a practical, convenient option for someone prioritising central location and parking over space, or for an investor targeting steady rental demand.
