This ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a Victorian mid-terrace on Woodland Terrace, offered chain-free and presented as a compact, low-maintenance home. The layout includes a front sitting room with bay window, double bedroom, shower room, compact modern-style kitchen and a small enclosed rear garden — a practical starter home or straightforward buy-to-let.
The flat benefits from UPVC double glazing, an unusually long lease and low ground rent, which reduce ongoing ownership costs. The interior appears well kept and ready to occupy, so buyers who want minimal immediate work will find this appealing. The modest footprint (c. 446 sq ft) keeps running costs down and suits single occupants or couples.
Be aware of a few material considerations. The building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation, and the local area scores high for crime and significant deprivation; buyers sensitive to neighbourhood context should check local conditions. Heating is by electric storage heaters (confirm on inspection), and the property’s compact size limits expansion potential. Overall, this is a cost-conscious, centrally located flat that will suit first-time buyers or investors prioritising low entry price and easy management.
