This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Ampleforth House offers straightforward, low-effort accommodation in the heart of Warrington town centre. The property has a private entrance, open-plan lounge-kitchen, two bedrooms (master with en-suite) and a dedicated gated parking space to the rear — practical features for tenants or a small household. Constructed in the early 2000s with double glazing and mains heating via boiler and radiators, the flat is broadly modern and ready for immediate occupation.
For investors, the location close to transport links, shops and colleges supports steady rental demand, particularly from students and migrant families. The long lease (976 years) and modest ground rent make ownership administratively straightforward. Note the service charge is relatively high at about £3,127 per year, so factor this into running costs and yield calculations.
Be candid about local downsides: the area records very high crime and is within a very deprived ward, which may limit tenant profiles and resale premiums. Internally the apartment appears compact and in average, lived-in condition — minor redecoration and space optimisation would improve appeal and rental value. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent for on-the-go tenants.
