Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in the modern Beam Park development, tailored for first-time buyers seeking straightforward urban living. The open-plan lounge and kitchen open onto a private balcony, creating usable living space for daily routines and small-scale entertaining. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite; the second bedroom is well-proportioned and practical for a home office or guest room. Allocated off-street parking is included, and broadband and mobile reception are strong—useful for remote working.
Practical considerations are clear and important. The property is leasehold and served by a community heating scheme rather than individual boilers, which may affect running costs and control. The kitchen is compact and the home is an average-sized apartment (782 sq ft) with standard ceiling heights; buyers wanting larger rooms or bespoke fittings should factor potential reconfiguration or upgrades into their budget.
The wider neighbourhood offers good primary and secondary schools with several rated Good by Ofsted, plus local amenities and transport links. However, the area scores high for crime and very high on deprivation indices, so buyers should weigh community and safety factors alongside the apartment’s conveniences. Flood risk is very low and council tax is described as affordable.
This apartment suits practical first-time buyers or couples prioritising transport access, private parking and modern finishes over rural tranquillity or large garden space. It presents a comfortable, contemporary base with scope for cosmetic improvements; buyers who require full control of heating or greater privacy may prefer a different tenure or property type.
