A rare ground-floor two-bedroom apartment on Sutton Road, offered chain-free and with 125 years on the lease. The layout suits buy-to-let buyers or first-time purchasers seeking a compact home with private outdoor space. The flat includes off-street parking, a private rear garden and double glazing, and the interior is presented as stylish throughout.
Important practical points are straightforward: the building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than modern builds. Crime in the local area is above average and the wider neighbourhood records higher deprivation — relevant for investors assessing tenant demand or buyers valuing long-term resale uplift.
There is no service charge reported and the full freehold for the building is available to purchase at extra cost. Note an upstairs leaseholder is recorded with a 62-year lease, which could affect how the freehold and shared responsibilities are handled; get legal advice on common parts and management before committing.
Overall this is a compact, reasonably priced property with clear rental or starter-home potential, but it carries the trade-offs of an older solid-wall construction, local socio-economic challenges, and leasehold complexities that a buyer should investigate fully.
