This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a small three‑unit block offers compact, ready-to-move-in accommodation ideal for a first home or buy-to-let investment. The apartment has a refitted high‑gloss cream kitchen, a modern white three‑piece bathroom, gas central heating and PVCu double glazing, presenting a tidy, low‑maintenance interior.
Externally there is an enclosed communal rear garden and a carport/garage space, useful extras for a property of this size. The block is self‑managing, with a low service charge of £70 pcm and no ground rent, and the long lease (approx. 165 years) provides tenure security.
Be aware the internal space is small (approx. 377 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or a lettable unit rather than a family. The EPC is rated D and the accommodation is compact, so buyers wanting larger living areas or top‑end energy efficiency may prefer to look elsewhere. Communal grounds and parking are shared, and ongoing maintenance responsibilities sit with the residents since the block is self‑managed.
Overall this is a straightforward, well‑presented apartment in a very low crime, affluent neighbourhood with good local amenities and schools nearby. It represents an accessible entry onto the property ladder or a simple addition to a rental portfolio for those seeking modest running costs and long lease security.
