A well-situated one-bedroom first-floor flat with share of freehold and an en-bloc garage, offered with no onward chain. The building sits back from the road and shares well-kept communal gardens, providing pleasant outlooks and easy access to local shops and transport links.
The flat measures about 441 sq ft and requires renovation throughout — new finishes, updating kitchen and bathroom, and potential heating upgrades would add value. The property has double glazing, electric storage heaters, and cavity walls currently assumed without insulation, which may affect running costs until improved.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (approximately 947 years), affordable council tax, low crime in the area, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home workers. Service charges average £1,224 per year and should be factored into affordability calculations.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable refurbishment project close to transport and good local schools. The garage and share of freehold make this an appealing, low-risk long-term holding once modernised.
