A compact, move-in ready apartment ideal for a first purchase or buy-to-let. The property comes vacant and chain-free, with a generous double bedroom, modern bathroom and a bright living room that benefits from natural light. Lease length is healthy at 117 years and running costs are modest: service charge approximately £300 pa and ground rent around £10 per term.
Location is convenient for commuters with excellent public transport links and fast broadband options, while local amenities and several well-regarded schools are within reach. The communal garden and private outdoor area add usable external space uncommon for flats at this price point.
Buyers should note the surrounding area has higher crime levels and broader local deprivation indicators; that context may influence resale values and tenant demand. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and while the flat appears in good condition, buyers are advised to obtain a solicitor’s and surveyor’s checks for services, structure and lease details.
Overall this is a low-cost entry into the local market with good rental potential or straightforward owner-occupation, especially attractive to those prioritising transport links and low holding costs.
