Set on the second floor of a Victorian terrace on Alma Square, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or investors. The flat benefits from direct views over the square, a private off-street parking space to the rear and a communal forecourt with landscaped greenery — rare for a town-centre location. The long lease (889 years) and low council tax band make ownership predictable and affordable.
Internally the accommodation is modest but well maintained: a living room with large sash-style windows, a modern fitted kitchen and a tiled shower room. Heating is by wall-mounted electric heaters within the flat; note the building details reference gas boiler and radiators for the block. Windows are single-glazed sash style, so there is some potential to improve thermal performance and reduce running costs.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £1,207 and is offered chain-free for a swift purchase. The wider town-centre location means excellent access to shops, buses and the train station, but the area is described as very deprived with a very high local crime rate — buyers should consider security and longer-term area trends when deciding.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented town-centre flat with clear investor or starter-home appeal. It suits someone seeking a low-maintenance urban base with parking and a long lease, and who is comfortable with single-glazed windows and the social context of the surrounding neighbourhood.
