Small renovation project with long lease and low running costs near local amenities.
Private front-door access — first-floor one-bedroom flat
Long lease: 150 years remaining
Needs full renovation and redecoration throughout
Approx 445 sq ft — compact accommodation
Service charge £528 pa; ground rent £200 pa
Council Tax Band A — very low running tax cost
Located in a very deprived area with above-average crime
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband nearby
This one-bedroom first-floor flat sits in an Edwardian period building on Granville Road, offering a private front-door entrance and a long 150-year lease. The layout comprises a reception room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom across approximately 445 sq ft — compact but practical for a single occupant or rental unit.
The property requires full renovation, making it a clear project for buyers wishing to add value through refurbishment. Running costs are modest: low council tax (Band A), annual service charge £528 and ground rent £200. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting modern living or a lettable space.
Important negatives are factual and should be considered: the flat is in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates and the building likely lacks cavity wall insulation. The accommodation is small and will need decorating, updating of services and possible insulation improvements to reach modern standards.
For an investor or buyer comfortable managing a refurbishment, this flat presents a low-entry-price opportunity near local shops, transport links and several well-regarded schools. The long lease and period character give scope to create a desirable, income-generating or owner-occupied home once upgraded.
