A spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment set in a well-maintained block in Little Eaton, offering a pleasant outlook, resident parking and straightforward, low-maintenance living. The layout includes a generous lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen and shower room — suitable for a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in home or an investor looking for reliable rental appeal. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing and sits within the Ecclesbourne School catchment, a clear local draw.
Important practical points are honest and material: the flat is leasehold with 82 years remaining, and the current service charge runs at about £1, /month (£2,268pa) — lease extension will be necessary and likely costly. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and there is a medium flood risk for the area; these factors may affect mortgage options or rental desirability and should be checked early.
The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and shows typical mid‑period construction with cavity walls and partial insulation. The communal setting, off‑street parking and nearby green spaces offer everyday comfort; public transport and main roads are accessible for commuting. Overall, this is a practical, well-located apartment that delivers value if you accept the lease-length and connectivity constraints and budget for any lease renewal or upgrades.
