This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, practical layout across approximately 441 sq ft, suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance home. Located in a secure, well-kept development on Baldwin Road, the flat includes an allocated off-street parking space and access to communal landscaped grounds.
The property benefits from a long lease (around 152 years remaining) and a below-average annual service charge of £980, making ongoing ownership predictable. There is no ground rent and no identified flood risk. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local transport links and amenities are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the apartment is heated by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which may affect running costs. The surrounding area scores higher for deprivation and records above-average crime levels; nearby schools are mixed in Ofsted ratings, though strong secondary options are available.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-upkeep one-bedroom that suits someone starting out, downsizing, or looking for a straightforward rental opportunity. Viewings will best suit buyers comfortable with electric heating and who prioritise long lease security, parking and a secure development over a centrally heated system or lower-crime neighbourhood.
