Light-filled two-bedroom first-floor apartment set in a Victorian semi, minutes from Sefton Park and Lark Lane. High ceilings and bay sash windows give a sense of space, while a modern fitted kitchen, ensuite and family bathroom make the layout move-in ready for a first home or buy-to-let. The apartment is offered chain free and sits on a long lease with very low ground rent.
Practical details support everyday living: gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband. On-street parking is available and major bus and rail links are within easy walking distance. The location is a strong draw for buyers who want parks, cafés and independent shops on their doorstep.
Buyers should note the property’s compact overall size (559 sq ft) and that parking is on-street only. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated as originally built, so buyers may wish to budget for any thermal upgrades. The area records higher crime statistics and ranks as very deprived, which may affect insurance and resale considerations.
Financially the flat is straightforward: long lease (980 years remaining), peppercorn ground rent and an annual service charge of £700. EPC rating D — there is scope to improve energy performance over time. For first-time buyers or investors seeking a central L17 base close to green space and local amenities, this apartment represents practical, low-entry ownership with clear improvement potential.
