This bright second-floor apartment in Manor Road offers a spacious 689 sq ft layout and allocated off-street parking — a practical option for buy-to-let investors or a first-time buyer seeking central convenience. The flat benefits from double glazing, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and generous ceiling heights that add a sense of space to the living areas.
Situated within walking distance of the train station, shops and local amenities, the property’s location supports strong rental demand and easy commuter access. The share-of-freehold tenure and communal gardens are useful extras, though the property sits in a generally deprived area with high local crime levels, which will affect rental values and tenant profiles.
Internally the accommodation is traditional in layout with a lounge, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and utility area. Room sizes are modest in places (bedroom and kitchen are compact) but the overall footprint and natural light make the apartment versatile. Average service charges are £1,368 per year and council tax is very low — both factors to include when calculating net yield.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is on the second floor (access by stairs), and the wider area classification records higher deprivation and crime; these are likely to influence tenant demand and insurance/risk assessments. For investors seeking a centrally located, reasonably sized flat with parking and solid basics in place, this offers clear potential once priced and managed appropriately.
