This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Blackhill offers a practical, low-cost entry into the local market with clear investment and owner-occupier appeal. Set on an elevated corner position, the flat benefits from bright living spaces and valley views that help create an airy feel throughout the home.
The layout includes two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a generous living/dining room and a compact, well-lit kitchen with a skylight. A modern, low-maintenance bathroom completes the accommodation. Useful extras — a large loft for storage, a private external storage cupboard and a small private yard — add practical space rare in typical apartments.
Financially the property is straightforward: leasehold with around 103 years remaining and a low ground rent of £75pa, very cheap local council tax, mains gas central heating and double glazing. It is currently tenanted, presenting an immediate rental income opportunity, but can be sold with vacant possession if you prefer to move in.
Considerations: the apartment is modest in overall size and has a single bathroom, so it best suits first-time buyers, downsizers or landlords targeting long-term lets. Cosmetic updating may be desired to personalise the space, but major structural or flood risks are not indicated.
