Chain-free two-bed with parking and garage, close to town and schools.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with balcony and good natural light
This top-floor two-bedroom flat in River Bank Close is presented in good order and ready to move into, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer. The living/dining room is bright with full-height glazing to a balcony and wood-effect flooring; a separate kitchen and boarded loft add useful storage. An allocated parking space and a garage en-bloc are notable benefits for town-centre living.
Practical running costs should be considered: the building has an average service charge of around £2,500 per year and heating is by electric storage heaters. The property sits in an area classed as deprived with higher local crime levels, so buyers should weigh location factors alongside the flat’s conveniences and proximity to town and schools.
Lease details are favourable — an unusually long remaining term of c.971 years — and the flat is offered chain free, which can speed a purchase. The EPC is C (71), indicating reasonable energy performance for the age and construction, though electric heating can raise bills compared with gas or mains systems.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment that suits first-time buyers wanting a manageable, centrally located home or investors seeking a lettable town-centre unit. Be aware of the service charge level, electric storage heating, and local crime statistics when assessing affordability and suitability.
