Compact modern apartment with parking and long lease — ideal first purchase or investment.
Second-floor 2-bedroom apartment, 614 sq ft
This tidy second-floor apartment on Barrows Lane offers a compact, low-maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers or investors. The layout features an open-plan living room and modern kitchen, a master bedroom with en-suite shower, a second double bedroom and a separate bathroom — all arranged within a modest 614 sq ft. Underfloor heating, double glazing and an EPC C rating help keep running costs reasonable.
The building was constructed in the mid-2000s and benefits from a secure gated parking area with one allocated space and visitor parking. The 112-year lease provides long-term security, but note the property is leasehold with a ground rent of £200 per year and an average service charge of £1,833 annually.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the apartment is small in overall size, so it suits buyers wanting compact living rather than large family accommodation. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, local schools have good Ofsted ratings, and nearby local amenities serve everyday needs. For anyone prioritising a modern, low-upkeep flat with off-street parking, this presents a sensible, affordable option in a well-connected suburban area.
