A first-floor two-bedroom apartment in GL52 offering 735 sq ft of flexible living space in a mid-century semi-detached block. The flat has a large living/dining area, two double bedrooms and a sizeable kitchen — a practical layout that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Communal front gardens and a pleasant courtyard provide outdoor space without maintenance of a private garden.
The interior requires updating: the kitchen and some finishes date from the 1970s–1980s and ceilings will need decorating. The property is sold leasehold (88 years remaining) with an annual service charge of about £700 and a ground rent of £10. Flood risk is classed as medium and local crime levels are above average; these are important factors to consider alongside the low asking price.
Location is convenient for local amenities, supermarkets and bus links, with a mix of state and strong independent schools nearby. Fast broadband and mains gas central heating add practical value. For buyers prepared to invest modestly, the apartment presents clear potential to modernise and increase comfort and value.
