2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Freshly renovated, commuter-friendly flat with parking and low running costs.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat, newly renovated throughout
Allocated off-street parking to the rear of the building
Open-plan kitchen/diner with roof window and Juliet balcony
Approximately 614 sq ft — compact living space
Leasehold with c.131 years remaining; additional lease fees possible
Very slow broadband speeds in the local area
Council Tax Band A — low ongoing council costs
Area classified as very deprived; affects long-term resale potential
A freshly renovated top-floor flat with two bedrooms and contemporary finishes, ready for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. New carpets, Karndean flooring and a modern kitchen give the property a move-in feel while the allocated off-street parking and Juliet balcony add practical convenience.
The layout is compact at about 614 sq ft, with a bright open-plan kitchen/diner featuring roof windows and an integrated appliance pack. The property sits in a commuter-friendly location with quick access to the A61 and M1, nearby retail at Cortonwood and local attractions such as Elsecar Heritage Centre.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold (approximately 131 years remaining) and additional costs such as leasehold packs may apply. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the immediate neighbourhood is in a very deprived area classification — factors to consider for long-term living or resale expectations.
Overall this is a low-cost, low-council-tax (Band A) opportunity that suits a buyer seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in flat or an investor targeting steady rental demand in a commuter location. A basic survey is recommended to verify services and appliances despite the recent cosmetic works.
