A compact, town-centre one-bedroom ground-floor flat offered at an entry-level price, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-cost purchase. The flat sits just off Ross-on-Wye high street, within easy walking distance of shops, cafes and local amenities, and benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
Internally the layout is open-plan with a combined lounge/kitchen, a small bedroom and shower room. The current layout includes a stud wall creating the bedroom; this room has no window and does not meet current Building Regulations — the wall can be removed to restore a single open-plan studio. Buyers should note this may affect mortgageability and resale appeal.
Lease details are favourable for term length (approximately 103 years remaining) but include a ground rent of £250 per year with a lease clause increasing the ground rent by £150 every ten years and a requirement to obtain freeholder permission to let. The flat is small (around 301 sq ft) and will suit a single occupant or couple, or an investor seeking a low-price rental let, provided they check letting permissions.
Practical positives include a small garden, low council tax band A and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. Drawbacks to consider: restricted bedroom light and compliance, limited internal space, potential mortgage obstacles, rising ground rent clause and a higher local crime level. A straightforward refurbishment and removal of the stud wall would modernise the space and improve marketability.
