A very large, well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a modern red-brick block, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The property features a refitted open-plan kitchen/living area with balcony access, a master bedroom with en-suite and fitted wardrobes, a second bedroom with fitted storage, and allocated off-street parking behind a gated entrance. Lift access and communal hallways add convenience for day-to-day living.
Practical costs and tenure are clear: the flat is leasehold with approximately 111–112 years remaining, an average annual service charge of £2,200 and a ground rent of £210. Heating is electric via room heaters and main fuel is electricity — this limits gas heating options and can affect running costs. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow.
The local context suits buyers prioritising access and community amenities over quiet suburbia. The flat sits in a busy inner-city area with excellent mobile signal and public transport links; nearby facilities include schools, playgrounds, bus stops and leisure amenities. However, the neighbourhood records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, so buyers should weigh potential resale and rental demand against these factors.
This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a spacious, ready-to-live-in home with low immediate renovation needs, and to investors seeking a lettable, chain-free property in a major conurbation. Be aware of the service charge level, electric heating, slow broadband and local area challenges when considering long-term running costs and tenancy attractiveness.
