This compact first-floor apartment offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home in a quiet cul-de-sac. With one bedroom, one bathroom and a practical living room, the layout suits an individual or couple seeking an affordable entry into the UB8 market or a buy-to-let purchase with minimal upkeep.
Stand-out practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, a very long 259-year lease and fast broadband/excellent mobile signal—useful for remote working or letting. The property is sold chain-free, simplifying completion for buyers who want a quick move or investors targeting a rapid turnaround.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at about 346 sq ft and shows some dated decor and wear; it will suit those happy with efficient, space-saving living rather than generous rooms. The development levies an average service charge of around £1,200 per year and the surrounding area scores as relatively deprived with average crime levels—factors to weigh when considering resale or rental yields.
Overall this is a practical, cost-conscious option: long lease, parking and good digital connectivity are clear positives, while limited internal space, service costs and local area indicators are the main drawbacks. It makes sense for first-time buyers seeking affordability or investors wanting a straightforward let in Uxbridge.
