Compact, chain-free one-bedroom with parking and long lease — great starter opportunity.
Rental potential £600–650 pcm estimated
This compact lower-ground apartment at 38 Tunnel Hill offers an affordable, ready-to-move-in option for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan living/kitchen maximises usable space and large windows give natural light despite the lower-ground position. The bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the bathroom features a corner jacuzzi bath for added comfort. EPC C and gas central heating mean running costs are reasonable. The property is chain-free and comes with a long lease and share of freehold, simplifying purchase.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, double glazing, and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Broadband and mobile coverage are good, and council tax is in Band A, keeping ongoing charges low. Service charge is approximately £91.18 per month (annual average £1,094.16) and there is no ground rent payable.
Notable considerations: the flat is small (around 406 sq ft) and located at lower-ground level, which may reduce privacy and light for some buyers. The local area records above-average crime and high deprivation scores; viewings should assess personal comfort with the neighbourhood. Rental estimates are circa £600–650 pcm but prospective landlords should verify local demand and returns.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-entry home or a straightforward rental purchase with a very long lease and minimal ground rent. Buyers should budget for routine maintenance and confirm suitability of the lower-ground layout during a visit.
