Set over the first floor of a 1960s purpose-built block, this two-bedroom flat offers straightforward living or buy-to-let potential at an entry-level price. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom, with lift and stair access from the communal entrance. The flat benefits from gas central heating (electric boiler and radiators noted) and UPVC double glazing; overall internal floor area is about 657 sq ft.
Important sale details: the property is offered via the Modern Method of Auction with an undisclosed reserve price and buyer’s fees. A non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and additional auction pack costs apply; buyers must complete within 56 days and satisfy ID and funding checks. The title is leasehold and there may be further leasehold/service-pack fees to investigate.
The building and flat are functional but show age. External concrete render and communal areas would benefit from maintenance; the interior is dated in places (worn carpets, older finishes) and some buyers may want cosmetic updating. The location is convenient for local shops, frequent bus routes to the city centre and nearby schools, but note the area scores as very deprived and recorded local crime levels are high — important for both owner-occupiers and investors to consider.
For cash buyers or those comfortable with auction terms, this is a low-entry opportunity to secure a purpose-built two-bed with off-street communal parking, lift access and immediate rental or refurbishment potential. Ensure you review the buyer information pack, lease details and factor in auction fees and potential maintenance costs before bidding.
