This one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Gorse Hill offers compact, low-maintenance town-centre living with secure allocated parking and a long lease (978 years).
The interior is presented in a modern style with an open-plan living/kitchen, contemporary shower room, uPVC double glazing and integrated kitchen appliances, making it move-in ready for first-time buyers or investors. EPC rating B and fast broadband add to immediate appeal.
Practical downsides are clear: the property sits above commercial units on a main road with street-facing urban views, no private outdoor space, and is in an area classified as deprived with high local crime levels. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than central gas, and ongoing costs include a service charge (£150 pcm) and ground rent (£75 every six months).
Overall this flat suits someone seeking an affordable, well-presented central address — ideal for a first-time buyer wanting low-upkeep urban living or an investor targeting reliable rental demand — provided they accept urban noise, limited outdoor amenity, and the area’s social challenges.
