This chain-free, two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let in PL5. The property includes a private garden and a spacious driveway, giving outdoor space and off-street parking that is uncommon for apartments.
Internally the rooms are average-sized with a modern bathroom and bright living areas thanks to large windows. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, making the flat suitable for home working. The remaining lease is about 98 years — long enough for mortgage eligibility but worth noting for future buyers.
The immediate area is classified as very deprived with a higher local crime rate; that is the primary downside and will affect resale and rental demand. Nearby schools include several rated Good, offering some local appeal for families. Buyers should budget for routine exterior maintenance of the garden and driveway.
Priced around £130,000–£140,000, this property will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable, move-in option with private outside space, or investors wanting a straightforward rental in a city location.
