Long-lease ground-floor flat with garden and parking — ideal first-time buyer or investor.
Long lease remaining (circa 172 years)
This bright ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a mid-terrace block on Nash Road and offers an accessible, low-maintenance starter home or buy-to-let opportunity. The property benefits from a long lease (circa 172 years), off-street parking and a private rear garden accessed via patio doors from the living room. At around 517 sq ft, rooms are sensibly proportioned for a one-bedroom flat.
The interior is functional but will reward light updating — the building dates from the 1950s–60s and the flat shows signs of era-appropriate finishes. Double glazing is in place (installed before 2002) and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. Service charge runs at approximately £1,700 per year and ground rent is low (around £10), so running costs are straightforward; council tax is described as cheap.
Location is practical for commuters and first-time buyers: good road and transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local shops and amenities are within walking distance and a mix of primary and secondary schools — including some rated Good and Outstanding — are nearby. The wider area is socially mixed and described as a commuter area with young families.
Considerations: the area is described as very deprived which may affect resale or rental tone; the building appears uninsulated in the cavity walls (assumed) which may impact energy efficiency. The flat will suit buyers looking for an affordable entry point who are prepared to modernise cosmetically, or investors seeking a long-lease, easily managed rental unit.
