Two bedrooms, spacious living room, total 603 sq ft
Electric storage heaters; consider upgrading heating for efficiency

This first-floor, two-bedroom flat in Woodhall Farm is offered with no upper chain — a straightforward move-in or investment opportunity. The living room is a comfortable, well-lit space and the layout is typical for a 1960s/70s purpose-built block, making it simple to maintain. The building sits on a quiet residential cul-de-sac close to schools, local shops and bus routes, useful for first-time buyers seeking convenience.
Practical aspects to note: the property is leasehold with 137 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £100. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters and double glazing is older (pre-2002), so running costs and comfort could improve with modern heating or insulation upgrades. The cavity walls are likely uninsulated (as built), presenting both a downside for energy efficiency and a clear improvement opportunity.
At about 603 sq ft, the flat is compact but functional; rooms are average-sized and communal grounds provide some outside amenity but there is no private garden or garage. Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong — helpful for home working.
Overall this is a practical, entry-level home or buy-to-let in a well-served suburb. Buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements and should commission their own surveys and service checks before purchase to confirm condition and running costs.
