Freshly renovated two-bedroom apartment with parking and long lease, close to Whitchurch village..
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment, freshly renovated and move-in ready
This top-floor two-bedroom apartment at Summerfield House is a freshly renovated, ready-to-move-in home that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan kitchen/lounge benefits from a Velux window and modern appliances, while the recently fitted shower room and built-in storage keep day-to-day living low maintenance.
Practical positives include an extended lease of around 170 years, allocated off-street parking, communal gardens and a modest service charge of approximately £720 per year. The property sits a short walk from Whitchurch village amenities and public transport links, with quick access to the A470/M4 and nearby train stations.
Be realistic about the constraints: the overall floor area is small (approximately 564 sq ft) and the building dates from the 1980s, with double glazing installed before 2002. The surrounding ward has higher deprivation indices, which may affect long-term capital growth compared with stronger neighbourhoods. Council Tax is affordable and there is no onward chain, which helps speed to completion.
For buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance home close to shops and transport, or an investor looking for a straightforward tenancy opportunity with long lease terms, this apartment represents a sensible purchase with clear, manageable trade-offs.
