This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies 875 sq ft within a handsome Victorian building and is offered chain-free — ideal for first-time buyers seeking a move-in ready home. The open-plan living, dining and newly fitted kitchen with island provides a modern, social heart to the flat, while fresh decoration, new carpets and low-energy recessed lighting complete a contemporary finish.
The principal bedroom includes fitted sliding wardrobes and an en-suite shower room; a second double bedroom and a main bathroom with storage cupboard add practicality. Heating is from a modern gas combi boiler; the apartment also has mains-powered smoke alarms, a security system and USB charging sockets in key rooms. Off-street parking adds convenience in a central location close to shops, bus routes and the local train station.
This is a leasehold property with an exceptionally long lease (977 years remaining) and no periodic reviews for ground rent or service charge. Annual service charges are £2,160 and ground rent is £100 — buyers should factor these into running costs. The wider area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are average, reflecting some local socio-economic challenges.
Overall this flat suits buyers wanting a low-maintenance, recently renovated home in a characterful period building. It offers modern fittings and good local transport links, but purchasers should budget for the service charge and ongoing communal maintenance costs associated with apartment living.
