A bright ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Dune House, Broad Oak Close, offers a compact, modern home ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan living room and kitchen maximise the 519 sq ft layout and bring light into the principal living space.
Built in 1999 and fitted with double glazing, the property feels relatively low-maintenance. An allocated off-street parking space and a long lease (around 161 years) provide practical ownership benefits and peace of mind for mortgage lenders.
Buyers should note the flat is heated by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The service charge is approximately £1,000 per annum (including ground rent) — buyers must verify details with their solicitor. The wider area shows pockets of deprivation and average crime levels, so consider local amenities and transport links when viewing.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-presented ground-floor flat that suits someone seeking a compact, move-in-ready home or a manageable rental property. The long lease and parking make it a pragmatic purchase; verify service charge and running costs before committing.
