A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat offering a straightforward, low-entry purchase for first-time buyers or investors. The layout includes a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, family bathroom and two modest bedrooms — efficient and easy to maintain.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, double glazing, mains gas central heating and a long lease (about 106 years remaining). The property is chain-free and sits within walking distance of Leagrave train station and local amenities, with quick road links to the M1.
Be aware this is a small flat in an area classed as inner-city with higher deprivation indicators; local broadband speeds are average and the communal grounds are modest. The building dates from the early 2000s and appears well kept, but buyers should verify lease paperwork and factor in potential additional leasehold fees and any future maintenance costs.
For investors the size and location suit a rental let close to transport hubs; for first-time buyers it provides an affordable, low-maintenance starter home with clear scope to personalise. Check measurements, service records and lease documents before committing.
