This modern ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Stone Arches offers a compact, low-maintenance home or a straightforward rental investment close to Doncaster city centre. Built c.2003–2006, the flat benefits from double glazing, electric boiler heating, an open-plan living/kitchen area and an allocated off-street parking bay.
The property is offered with the option to buy with a long-standing tenant (tenancy from July 2021) currently paying £610pcm; estimated market rent is around £650pcm. The listing highlights a potential return on investment of 29.4% when income and purchase price are compared—buyers should verify rental assumptions and running costs.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: leasehold with 130 years remaining (original 150-year lease from 2005), annual service charge circa £1,812.18 and ground rent £100 per year. EPC rating C and very low council tax band help running costs, but the building lies in an area with higher crime rates and local deprivation, which may affect resale or lettability for some buyers.
Best suited to first-time buyers seeking a compact, modern starter home or investors after a low-management rental unit. The flat’s small footprint (approx. 442 sq ft) and some communal service charges should be weighed against the convenience of location, nearby amenities and good broadband and mobile connectivity.
