This bright first-floor one-bedroom flat in Longcause offers a ready-to-move-in option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Recently upgraded kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate work, while a spacious living room and practical layout make daily living straightforward.
A standout feature is the private south-facing rear garden with a raised deck, lawn and shed — rare for a flat and useful for outdoor entertaining or storage. The long lease (116 years) and low council tax help running costs, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Be realistic about maintenance and location: the block is a post‑war build with rendered exterior that shows age and will benefit from external upkeep. Walls are likely uninsulated and some rooms show dated finishes; the property may feel draughty in places. Ground rent of £406 and leasehold tenure apply — check all lease fees and any additional leasehold pack costs before committing.
Overall this is a practical, affordable entry-level home with outdoor space and recent interior works. It suits buyers wanting a low‑risk first purchase or landlords seeking an easily managed rental in a well-connected suburban area.
