This two-bedroom, chain-free flat in Birch Close offers a compact, modern layout suited to first-time buyers or investors. The open-plan living area with Juliet balcony and integrated kitchen appliances makes efficient use of the 603 sq ft, while allocated off-street parking adds everyday convenience. The development dates from 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing and decent insulation.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 108 years remaining and uses electric heating via room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas. The apartment is small in overall size and will suit buyers looking for a starter home or a rental acquisition rather than a family needing generous space or private garden access.
Location is a strength: quick access to the A64, nearby retail parks (Vangarde and Monks Cross), good local amenities and several well-rated schools. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote working or streaming tenants. Note the local crime level is above average in the area — buyers should consider security measures and insurance implications.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance option for someone entering the market or expanding an investment portfolio. Viewings are recommended to judge room proportions and storage for yourself.
