This bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on Anchor Lane offers modern, low-maintenance living with practical extras. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from large windows and integrated appliances, creating a light, contemporary living space ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The main bedroom includes an en-suite; the family bathroom has both bath and shower. Allocated off-street parking and a bike shed add convenience in a town-centre location.
The flat is leasehold with 122 years remaining and a manageable footprint of about 675 sq ft. Service charges run at approximately £1,400 per year (paid £700 half-yearly) and council tax is in band B. The property is sold chain-free via an online auction with a buy-it-now option, which can speed purchase but requires awareness of auction-specific fees and timings.
Important costs and site notes: a non-refundable Buyer’s Premium (£6,600 incl. VAT) and a legal pack fee (£396) are payable on sale; purchasers must also budget for a conveyancing AML check fee. The neighbourhood scores higher-than-average crime and some local deprivation, so buyers seeking quieter or higher-end surroundings should note this. Transport links, green spaces and nearby schools are positives for commuting and family life.
Overall, this is a practical, ready-to-move-in modern flat with allocated parking and long lease length. It suits first-time buyers wanting contemporary town living or investors seeking a straightforward rental opportunity — provided you factor in auction fees, service charges and local area considerations before bidding.
