A double-fronted ground-floor flat offering generous ceiling heights and period character in a convenient Bensham location. The accommodation includes a lounge, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a private rear yard, all within an average-sized 754 ft² footprint. UPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating provide practical comfort, and the lease has a very long term (964 years).
This home suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low council tax and straightforward access to shops, multicultural amenities and regular bus routes. The A1 and Team Valley are a short drive away for commuters, and local schools and services are nearby. Flood risk is none and mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong.
Buyers should note the area has a high crime rate and is classed as very deprived, which will affect resale and rental demand. The kitchen is dated and will benefit from modernization; the property’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation and may need improvements. Tenure is leasehold (long lease), and the flat is ground-floor, which may suit some buyers more than others.
