The apartment has no upward chain and is ready to move into for someone seeking convenience near local shops and services.

The apartment is leasehold with approximately 90 years remaining, a service charge of about £1,440 per year and an annual ground rent of £125. The overall internal area is modest (around 550 sq ft), so space-conscious buyers should check room sizes against their needs.

Overall this is a sensible option for a downsizer or retiree seeking a town-fringe location, easy access to Whitchurch amenities and a home that requires little immediate work.
