Chain-free one-bed with new 125-year lease and private garden, ideal for first buyers or investors.
Private rear garden with rare side access
Light-filled ground-floor one-bedroom flat with its own private garden and a brand-new 125-year lease from 2025. The layout delivers a double bedroom, a generous living room with French doors onto the garden, and a well-sized kitchen — comfortable living on a single level ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property is offered chain free and benefits from a newly fitted Worcester Bosch combination boiler installed in early 2025, reducing immediate maintenance costs for heating.
The setting is an established Victorian terrace on Waddon Road with good local amenities and strong transport links, making commuting straightforward. At about 527 sq ft, the flat is average-sized for the area and presents straightforward potential to add value through cosmetic updating or modest reconfiguration. Side access to the garden and the outdoor space are notable assets for urban living.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the building’s solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, which could mean higher energy use until improved; the wider area records above-average crime and some deprivation indicators; and a service charge is quoted around £1,000 (details to be confirmed). Ground rent is nominal (£1) and the long lease substantially reduces leasehold risk compared with short-lease stock. Prospective purchasers are advised to obtain a full survey, confirm service charge and lease documentation, and check any costs tied to leasehold administration.
