This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Magdalen Road offers straightforward, low-cost ownership and strong rental potential. With over 900 years remaining on the lease, a peppercorn ground rent and a minimal service charge, running costs are unusually low for a leasehold property. The accommodation includes a generous lounge, double bedroom and a surprisingly large private rear garden — a rare outdoor space for a ground-floor flat.
The layout is traditional and well presented internally, with double glazing and gas central heating by boiler and radiators. Nearby amenities, good local schools and fast broadband make the location practical for first-time buyers and appealing to buy-to-let investors. The property is offered chain free, which helps speed up completion.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime levels, and some external elements read as a post‑war terrace that may benefit from cosmetic attention or ongoing maintenance. Appliances and services are not guaranteed to be in working order and should be checked by a buyer. Overall, this is a cost-efficient, low-risk purchase for someone seeking a manageable first home or a straightforward rental investment.
