This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers compact, low-maintenance living with the rare benefit of its own private entrance and an enclosed rear garden — a useful outdoor space for relaxing or container gardening. At about 582 sq ft the layout is traditional and light-filled, with a practical fitted kitchen, a sensible bathroom and three storage cupboards in the hall. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer to proceed.
Practical running factors work in its favour: very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus a very cheap council tax band. The property is mid-terrace, built in 1976–82 with cavity walls and double glazing already installed (pre-2002), and heating provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators.
There are some material points to note. The overall footprint is small and rooms are modest in scale, so it suits buyers seeking a compact home rather than generous living space. Exterior areas and the outbuilding show signs of wear and will need attention. Service/maintenance charges and ground rent are recorded together as £217.09 (buyers should verify whether this is monthly or annual). Double glazing predates 2002 and the building’s age means buyers should commission a survey before committing.
In short: a pragmatic, affordable entry-level freehold with a private garden and easy access to local shops and schools — good potential for a first home or buy-to-let after minor updating, but check service charge frequency and budget for some maintenance and possible upgrades.
