One-bedroom first-floor flat, approx. 345 sq ft
Freehold with 963 years remaining on lease
Modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, move-in ready
Off-street parking and communal gardens
All-electric heating (storage heaters) — potentially higher running costs
Annual service charge £1,582.10 for communal upkeep
Small internal size — limited storage and living space
Slow local broadband may affect home working
This neat one-bedroom first-floor flat offers compact, well-presented living in a quiet Horton Heath neighbourhood. The open-plan lounge and modern fitted kitchen create a bright, efficient living space suited to single occupants or couples seeking low-maintenance ownership. Built in the 1980s, the block is tidy with communal gardens and off-street parking.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (963 years remaining) and freehold tenure, low council tax (Band A), and a modern bathroom and kitchen ready to use. The property is heated by electric storage and panel heaters and runs entirely on electricity, which keeps the layout and systems straightforward.
Notable considerations: the flat is small (approximately 345 sq ft) and will feel compact for anyone needing substantial storage or workspace. Heating is electric storage/panel units, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. There is an annual service charge of £1,582.10 for communal maintenance. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area, which could affect remote working. No forward-purchase restrictions apply.
Overall, this is a sensible, low-stress purchase for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor wanting a tidy, ready-to-live-in home with long-term security from the lease and low local taxes. Expect modest running costs related to electric heating and some communal service charges.
