Summary - 9 PETERS WOOD CAPEL DORKING RH5 5EY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable starter flat in a quiet Capel cul-de-sac with long lease.
Chain free sale with new 125-year lease
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Peters Wood, Capel offers a straightforward, affordable route onto the property ladder. At about 591 sq ft the layout features two double bedrooms and a large lounge, giving more generous living space than many starter flats. The purchase is chain free and comes with a new 125-year lease and low ground rent, making ownership costs predictable.
The flat is part of a mid-20th-century brick block managed by Clarion Housing Association, which provides a clear management structure for communal maintenance. Practical features include double glazing, fast broadband availability and on-site communal grounds and parking; the property sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in a semi-rural village setting with good local schools and low crime.
Cosmetic updating is required — the kitchen and some finishes date from earlier decades — so buyers should budget for refurbishment to personalise the space. Heating is electric warm-air and the glazing predates 2002, so renewing these systems could improve comfort and running costs over time. Overall this is a sensible, well-located starter home or rental investment with clear potential once modernised.
Viewing is recommended for first-time buyers seeking a low-cost entry in an affluent, village setting or investors looking for a manageable leasehold flat with long lease length and limited immediate major defects.
