This top-floor one-bedroom apartment on Ramshaw Drive offers a compact, well-lit living space ideal for first-time buyers, professionals or buy-to-let investors. At around 388 sq ft the layout is efficient: a spacious lounge, contemporary kitchen and modern bathroom make daily life straightforward. Large windows lend generous natural light and top-floor privacy.
Practical positives include long leasehold security (approximately 953 years), resident off-street parking and well-kept communal gardens. The building dates from the 1980s and presents a modern red-and-yellow brick exterior; broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for remote working.
Be aware of a few material considerations: the home is small, so storage and entertaining space are limited; heating is by electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than mains gas; and local crime levels are above average. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown.
