This first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a clean, ready-to-move-in option for a first-time buyer or investor. Presented in very good condition, the flat has modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, double glazing, and an allocated off-street parking space. With a long lease of 954 years and no ground rent, ownership is straightforward.
The internal footprint is compact at 403 sq ft, arranged as a lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a bathroom. Electric storage heaters provide heating — efficient to install but potentially more expensive to run than gas. Service charges amount to about £1,310 per year; there is no recurring ground rent.
Location is practical for everyday needs: local shops, buses, healthcare and leisure facilities are all within easy reach, and the flat benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The property is offered chain-free, making it suitable for a quick purchase or investment let.
Notable negatives: the local area records higher crime levels than average, and the apartment’s small size limits storage and entertaining space. Prospective buyers should factor in running costs for electric heating and the annual service charge when assessing overall affordability.
