This generous two-bedroom first-floor home offers unusually large living space for its type — approximately 1,768 sq ft — laid out around an open-plan refitted kitchen/living room and finished with double glazing. The block was built in the mid-2000s and benefits from a gated entrance, lift access and an allocated off-street parking space. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; a balcony off the living area adds outdoor space.
Practical strengths include a long lease (circa 112 years remaining), no upward chain, and an affordable council tax band. Mobile signal is excellent and the apartment sits close to local schools, bus routes and basic amenities, which suits buyers wanting convenience and space in a well-connected urban location.
Important considerations are factual and significant: the property is leasehold with a service charge averaging around £2,200 per year and a ground rent of £210. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The surrounding area scores high for deprivation and crime is above average — factors buyers should weigh when assessing suitability and insurance costs.
Overall this is a practical, roomy residence for a buyer who prioritises interior space, a long lease and parking over low running costs and high-speed internet. It will suit purchasers looking for a ready-to-live-in flat with scope to add value, while being mindful of the running charges and local area context.
