A bright ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Hansell Gardens, offering a straightforward, low-fuss home or rental opportunity. The open-plan kitchen/living room benefits from patio doors that open onto a private terrace, extending the living space and providing outdoor privacy without garden maintenance. Allocated parking plus visitor bays and a long lease (117 years) add practical long-term value.
The layout is efficiently planned: an open-plan living/kitchen, a double bedroom, bathroom and entrance storage within approximately 546 sq ft. The building is contemporary brick with well-kept communal landscaping, situating the home in a pleasant Fleetville pocket with easy access to Clarence Park, the Alban Way and local shops and cafés.
Be clear about running costs and tenure details: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which may increase energy bills. The property is leasehold — service charge averages £1,052pa and ground rent £300pa — so factor ongoing costs into affordability or rental yield calculations.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking move-in readiness and low-maintenance town living, an investor after an easy-to-let urban property, or a downsizer wanting ground-floor access. It is chain-free, well-located for schools and transport, and presents immediate practical value with modest size and predictable running costs.
