Compact, well-located unit with communal garden and parking.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, 567 sq ft
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home with communal gardens and off-street parking. The open-plan living area and neutral decor make it easy to move in or rent out. Electric storage heating and double glazing help keep running costs predictable, while council tax is very cheap.
The property is small at around 567 sq ft, so it suits first-time buyers, single occupants or investors seeking a straightforward rental. Local amenities, good schools and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal place everyday conveniences close to hand. Access to the M5 and nearby public transport adds commuter appeal.
A material consideration is the 80-year lease remaining. Many mortgage lenders are reluctant to lend on leases under typical preferred thresholds, which could restrict buyer options or require a specialist/portfolio mortgage. Service charge is approximately £1,700 per year and ground rent £55 per year—budget for these running costs. Crime levels are above average locally, so factor security and insurance costs into plans.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located small apartment with clear value for cash buyers or investors who can manage lease implications. It also presents potential for modest updating to maximise rental income or create a personalised home, but buyers should obtain mortgage and leasehold advice early.
