This one-bedroom ground-floor flat offers an affordable, move-in-ready option in a quiet modern development built in 2004. Recently renovated throughout, the accommodation includes a refitted bathroom, engineered laminate flooring, double glazing and gas central heating. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add practical outdoor space for daily life.
The property is small (approximately 387 sq ft) and suits a single buyer or couple looking for a starter home or buy-to-let prospect. Service charges are modest (around £65 pcm) and council tax is very low, helping to keep running costs down. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local primary and secondary schools are rated Good.
A significant practical drawback is the remaining lease term of 78 years. Many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on a lease under 80 years, so buyers should check financing options or the cost and process of extending the lease before committing. The flat is offered chain free, which simplifies purchase timing.
Overall, this is a well-presented, economical choice for a first-time purchaser able to manage the lease issue, or an investor prepared to buy with cash or arrange alternative finance. Viewing is recommended to assess the compact layout and recent upgrades in person.
