Characterful L17 apartment near Lark Lane and Sefton Park — long lease and communal gardens.
Close to Lark Lane and Sefton Park, great local amenities
This stylish one-bedroom apartment sits in a popular L17 location, a short walk from Lark Lane and Sefton Park. The flat is presented to a high standard with a cosy living room, modern fitted kitchen and a spacious double bedroom with a stylish ensuite bathroom. High ceilings and period character in the building add charm, while communal rear gardens and off-street parking offer practical benefits.
Practical running costs and ownership terms are favourable: a 960-year lease, no ground rent and a service charge of approximately £1,800 per annum. Heating is electric via modern radiators/room heaters; EPC rating is currently TBC. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, so streaming and remote working may need a specific provider or upgrade.
Buyers should note a few material issues: the immediate area records very high crime and high deprivation indices, which may affect resale or rental demand. The building’s original solid brick walls likely have limited insulation and there is a reliance on electric heating, which can increase energy costs. Council tax is low (Band A), and there is no flooding risk.
Ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-presented, characterful apartment near amenities and green space. The long lease and low council tax are strengths, but factor in service charges, local area factors, and potential energy costs when assessing value.
