A compact two-bedroom second-floor apartment in Pearl Court, offered chain-free with share of freehold and 94 years remaining on the lease. The layout is practical: a generous lounge/dining room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Large dormer-style windows give good daylight and a straightforward, low-maintenance finish. Secure off-street resident parking is provided to the rear.
This property will suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors who prioritise location and value over space. The building was constructed in the early 1990s and the flat is presented in largely serviceable condition, but the kitchen is dated (1980s-style) and would benefit from modernisation to improve comfort and rental appeal. Service charges are modest at £378pa and council tax is described as affordable.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal. Drawbacks to note: the neighbourhood records very high crime and high area deprivation, and the flat is small (approximately 509 sq ft) with limited external space and an urban street outlook. Buyers should order a survey and verify lease and service arrangements before purchase.
