Compact, well-located one-bedroom apartment offering practical city living close to transport and local shops. The property is set above a parade of shops in a mid-20th-century brick building and benefits from off-street parking, a boarded loft for storage and double glazing. With 356 sq ft and straightforward accommodation, it suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking low running costs and rental potential.
The apartment is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a low ground rent and modest service charge — positives for affordability, though lease length should be checked by a solicitor. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; the loft is boarded for storage but not insulated, so further work could improve energy efficiency. Council tax is very cheap, helping ongoing costs.
The location is a major strength: around a 15-minute walk to the train station and adjacent to King George's Park, supermarkets and local amenities. Note the area records higher crime and general deprivation indices, which will affect resale and rental appeal; buyers should assess local security and insurance implications.
Overall this is a small, economical home or investment buy with clear potential for improvement (insulation, cosmetic updating) and immediate convenience. Important checks: lease documentation, any additional leasehold fees, appliance and heating service history, and suitability given local crime statistics.
