This bright ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers straightforward, move-in-ready living with contemporary fittings and a leafy communal outlook. The layout includes a generous living room, a stylish breakfasting kitchen with on-trend matt navy units, two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a modern bathroom with an electric shower. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable, and the property benefits from a security entryphone system.
Set within well-kept communal gardens, the flat provides a pleasant green aspect from every room and easy level access for everyday comings and goings. At about 644 sq ft the accommodation is classed as average-sized — roomy enough for a single person or couple, or for a buy-to-let investor seeking steady rental demand in an established neighbourhood.
Practical points to note: private outdoor space is limited to communal grounds and parking is on-street only. The surrounding area is described as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental premium though the property’s low asking price and cheap council tax help offset that. The building appears maintained to a standard expected for mid-20th century stock, so major remedial works are not indicated but routine upkeep is likely.
In short, this freehold ground-floor flat delivers affordable, well-presented city living with scope to add value through minor internal modernisation. It will appeal most to first-time buyers seeking easy-access accommodation or investors looking for a compact, economical unit with a green outlook.
