This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits within a handsome Victorian stone building on Park Road, offering a surprisingly spacious feel thanks to high ceilings and large windows. The open-plan living space and double bedroom both benefit from plentiful natural light and a quiet, private outlook. At about 448 sq ft, the layout is practical for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing.
Practical conveniences include a fitted kitchen and bathroom suite, private allocated off-street parking and shared, well-kept communal gardens. The property has a very long lease (999 years) and low ground rent (£75), making it straightforward to mortgage. Council tax is described as very cheap.
Important costs and constraints are clear: an average service charge of around £1,900 per year applies, and the building has secondary glazing with stone walls that are likely uninsulated. The area records higher-than-average crime and greater local deprivation, which may concern some buyers; however, the location is close to the town centre, Victoria Park and several well-rated primary schools.
This is a characterful, period home for someone seeking light-filled space and straightforward tenure. It will suit a buyer who values proximity to town amenities and communal outdoor space, and who is comfortable with the service charge and local area considerations.
