Compact two-bed with parking and communal gardens, ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free ground-floor flat next to Wardown Park
Chain-free ground-floor living next to Wardown Park makes this compact two-bedroom flat an attractive entry-level purchase. The apartment offers a bright reception room, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and allocated off-street parking, plus use of well-kept communal gardens in a tidy, Tudor-influenced development.
Practical details are straightforward: leasehold with about 90 years remaining, an average service charge of £2,175 pa and council tax described as affordable. The size is modest (around 609 sq ft) so the layout suits a couple, small family, or buy-to-let tenant looking for a low-maintenance base close to green space and transport links.
Be aware of material local factors: the area records higher crime levels and the property is in a high flood-risk zone. These points affect insurance and security considerations and may influence mortgage or rental demand for some buyers. The development itself appears well maintained, but buyers should check building insurance, flood cover and the lease details before committing.
Overall, this flat is a practical, conveniently located starter home or investment with immediate rental appeal and park-side living. Suitable purchasers are those prioritising location, ease of access and low moving friction, and who accept the leasehold, service charge and local area cautions.
