This ground-floor garden flat offers practical living for a first-time buyer or investor seeking immediate use and rental potential. It has its own private entrance, a south-facing bay lounge, a usable rear garden and two off-street parking spaces — rare for flats on this street. The kitchen and shower room are modern and the property benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing for day-to-day comfort.
Location is a strong selling point: within walking distance of several well-regarded primary and secondary schools, local shops and recreational green spaces including the River Stour reserve. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and council tax is very low, which helps running costs for owner-occupiers and tenants alike.
Important lease and local-safety factors must be considered. The remaining lease is 77 years; many mortgage lenders restrict lending below this term, so buyers should obtain lender confirmation or be prepared to buy with cash or arrange a specialist mortgage. The area records higher-than-average crime — budget for security measures and check local crime data before committing.
Internally the layout is efficient but the overall footprint is modest for three bedrooms; some updating will maximise value. Exterior photos suggest areas of upkeep and possible damp risk at the rear of the building — surveyor inspection is recommended. No onward chain and a new lease on completion provide a clear legal route for purchase once lease and finance are resolved.
