A spacious second-floor 2-bedroom apartment offering a very long lease of 995 years and lift access. The flat (approx. 642 sq ft) has a good-sized living room, balcony, modern kitchen and two double bedrooms — suited to first‑time buyers, commuters and investors looking for a low‑risk leasehold purchase.
Practical benefits include a secure gated allocated parking space, communal rooftop and landscaped gardens, double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband/mobile coverage. The location is close to local shops, bus stops, schools and Crossrail links, making daily travel and family life convenient.
Notable costs and local factors: service charge and ground rent are substantial (service charge c. £2,900 pa; ground rent c. £434 pa). The area scores as relatively deprived with above‑average local crime rates. The building is an early 20th‑century mid‑terrace, assumed to have solid brick walls with no insulation — further investigation into insulation and structural condition is recommended.
Overall this is a practical, well‑located flat with long lease security and communal amenities, but buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, ground rent and potential retrofit works for energy efficiency.
