This chain-free two-bedroom first-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Ashton-under-Lyne with immediate move-in potential. The apartment is presented in good order, benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing, and sits in a quiet cul-de-sac with communal gardens and residents’ parking. Its compact footprint makes it low-maintenance and suitable for buyers seeking convenience over space.
Practical for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors, the property lies close to local amenities, schools and public transport, and is within easy reach of open countryside for weekend walks. The EPC C rating and mains gas heating are positives for running costs, and council tax is very cheap.
Buyers should note the flat is leasehold with 83 years remaining — a material point for mortgage and future-sale considerations. The overall size is small (about 565 sq ft) and accommodation is traditional in layout with one bathroom; purchasers seeking larger rooms or a modern open-plan layout may need to renovate. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the block dates from 1976–82, so minor updating may be required over time.
