Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment located on Henley Road, offered chain-free and ready for quick purchase. The layout includes a double bedroom, bright living/dining room, separate kitchen and bathroom, with allocated off-street parking.

Heating is electric via room heaters and the windows are double glazed; buyers should note there is no gas central heating and energy costs may be higher than for gas-heated homes.

Crime levels are above average and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may affect resale or rental appeal in some buyer segments.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking a commuter base or an investor looking for a centrally located rental unit. It offers convenience and low-maintenance living but requires realistic budgeting for service charges, electric heating costs and local market considerations.
