Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with private terrace
A modern, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a gated development on South Meadow Road, offered chain-free and ready for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The apartment features a light lounge with French doors onto a private terrace, a compact fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a shower room. Secure off-street parking is accessed via electric gates and the well-kept communal grounds add pleasant outdoor space.
Practical running costs include an annual service charge of £2,971.78 and a ground rent of £250. The lease has around 107 years remaining (originally a 125-year term from 2007). Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is fully double-glazed; there is no gas supply. Council Tax sits in Band A, making local bills very cheap.
This flat is compact at approximately 464 sq ft (around 43 sq m), so it will suit someone seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home or an investor targeting a straightforward rental let (anticipated rent circa £800pcm). Note the development's reported above-average local crime level — buyers should factor local safety perceptions into their decision and carry out their own checks.
Overall the apartment delivers secure access, private outdoor space and convenient parking within a modern, purpose-built block. It represents clear entry-level value but comes with ongoing charges and electric heating to consider before purchase.
