Summary - 37 Mountbatten Close, Ashton-On-Ribble PR2 2YJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large rooms and low running costs — ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Allocated off-street parking plus visitor spaces
This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers genuinely roomy accommodation of circa 700 sq.ft in a purpose-built red-brick block. The living room opens to a Juliet balcony and the kitchen includes fitted units with integrated appliances — a low-maintenance home ready to move into or let out quickly.
Practical running costs are clear: long lease (999 years), modest ground rent (£75pa) and a service charge around £900pa. Council Tax sits in Band B. Allocated off-street parking and visitor spaces, plus an intercom entry, add everyday convenience for owners or tenants.
There are strong local conveniences — good to outstanding schools nearby, regular bus links and quick access to Preston city centre — making the location attractive to first-time buyers and investors. The block is modern (1983–1990 construction) with maintained communal grounds and limited upkeep required externally.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: heating is by electric storage heaters, broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and local crime statistics are very high. The wider area shows higher deprivation indicators, which may affect tenant demand and insurance premiums. These factors are reflected in the competitive asking price and present scope for improvement or rental yield upside with targeted upgrades.
