A good-value ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Chrysalis Park, offering practical open-plan living and sensible storage for a first-time purchase. The living area and bedrooms feel bright thanks to large windows, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite for everyday convenience. Outside, the development is well maintained with communal green space and a private allocated parking space.
The property benefits from a long lease (circa 140 years remaining) and modern construction (2007–2011), making it a straightforward move-in option with low immediate maintenance concern. Broadband and mobile signal are suitable for working from home and commuting links are convenient for professionals and young families drawn to the area.

Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can be more costly to run during colder months. Nearby schools include several rated Good, though one local primary is currently rated Inadequate.
Overall, this apartment suits first-time buyers or small households wanting a modern, low-upkeep home with secure parking and a long lease. The combination of location, condition and layout offers immediate usability, with modest running costs to consider because of electric heating and the ground rent level.
