Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in a modern purpose-built block close to Warrington town centre. At about 560 sq ft this compact flat offers a bay-windowed lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in storage and a roomy bathroom — practical accommodation for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The building has secure communal entrance, maintained communal gardens and resident parking to the rear.
The property is leasehold with 131 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £125. Heating is by electric storage heaters and there are additional wall-mounted electric heaters in parts of the apartment — suitable where gas is not available but potentially more expensive to run. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the block dates from 2007 onwards, so general maintenance and thermal performance are reasonable for its age.
This sale is subject to a public notice (an offer has been received) and is offered with no onward chain. The local area provides good digital connectivity and fast broadband, plus a range of amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Prospective buyers should note the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and that the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental demand.
Overall this is a budget-priced, low-entry property well suited to buyers wanting a central location, straightforward accommodation and affordable council tax (Band B). It will suit someone prepared for electric heating running costs and seeking a compact home or rental investment with easy access to town-centre facilities.
