Set on the top floor of a contemporary 2015 block on Portmill Lane, this chain-free two-bedroom flat suits first-time buyers wanting a town-centre base. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from vaulted ceilings, engineered oak flooring and two balconies, one facing St Mary’s church for pleasant town views. Triple-glazed windows and modern fittings reduce noise and maintenance needs.
The principal bedroom includes built-in storage and an en suite; a second double bedroom and a separate bathroom make the layout practical for sharers or guests. An allocated off-street parking space with a rising bollard is a notable town-centre convenience. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent.
This is a leasehold property with 115 years remaining. Annual running costs include a service charge of around £1,700 and ground rent of £350. The apartment presents relatively low immediate repair needs, but buyers should budget for ongoing communal service costs and confirm any planned major works.
Location is a major selling point: you can walk to shops, cafés and the train station, and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Be aware the local crime statistic is high; prospective buyers may want to check recent local policing and security measures before committing.
