Bright, practical two-bedroom first-floor apartment on the edge of Great Ashby, offered with no onward chain. The large lounge/diner with a bay window gives a sense of space, while the fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms make the layout highly usable for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward rental layout. Allocated off-street parking and proximity to open countryside add everyday convenience and appeal.
The building was constructed in 2006 and the flat is in reasonable order; the kitchen and bathroom are modern enough to be liveable immediately, though gentle updating would likely increase market and rental value. There’s no private garden, so outdoor space is limited to nearby maintained grounds and adjacent countryside walks.
Practical costs are important: the flat is leasehold with about 108 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £100 and a service charge around £1,100 per year. The lease reportedly includes 25-year review periods for ground rent where it doubles, which is a material long-term cost to note. Council tax is low and local schools and amenities are strong, making this a sensible choice for buyers prioritising location and value.
Overall, this is a compact, well-located apartment that suits buyers wanting an accessible first home or a lettable investment. Viewings are advised to appreciate room proportions and the bay-front living space.
