This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Crystal Court offers an accessible, chain-free entry to homeownership. The open-plan living area and two bathrooms suit sharers or a young family, while the compact, modern rooms are easy to maintain.
Practical running costs include a lease with approximately 114 years remaining, a service charge of about £2,042 per year (paid in two instalments) and an annual ground rent around £380. The property totals about 689 sq ft, heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators.
Transport is a strong selling point: Zone 6 stations are nearby for commuting. Local primary schools have good Ofsted ratings and community amenities include sports facilities and playgrounds. However, broadband speed is slow in the area and the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived, which may affect resale appeal for some buyers.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance London foothold with immediate occupancy. Buyers should verify service charge, ground rent and lease details with their solicitor and factor potential renovation or connectivity upgrades into their budget.
