This first-floor two-bedroom flat offers an affordable route onto the local property ladder at £87,500. The layout provides a generous lounge, two double bedrooms and a modern-feeling kitchen and bathroom within approximately 645 sq ft of living space.
Practical features include a very long lease (982 years), double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and low council tax — all helpful for running costs and future mortgage applications. There is a small pebbled rear garden and limited forecourt parking to the front.
The building dates from the 1950s–60s and external surfaces show weathering that may need repair or decoration. The property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics, so buyers should assess neighbourhood suitability and security measures. Nearby schools and local amenities, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, support everyday convenience.
Suitability: good value for first-time buyers seeking a manageable home to personalise, or for investors looking at low-entry rental opportunities. Factor in minor external maintenance and standard cosmetic updating when budgeting.
