This first-floor, two-bedroom leasehold flat offers a straightforward move-in-ready layout and an unusually long split rear garden for a flat. The well-presented interiors include two double bedrooms, a generous living room with feature fireplace, separate kitchen, utility room, and useful external storage — a practical home for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor seeking family-sized accommodation.
The property is in a very deprived area with high local crime and sits within a ‘constrained young families’ neighbourhood; buyers should factor local market conditions into offers. The flat is part of a semi-detached, mid-20th-century building with system-built walls and external insulation. Gas central heating, recent double glazing and a below-average service charge help running costs remain low.
Leasehold tenure applies: the current ground rent is minimal and the service charge is £335. Council tax is described as very cheap, but prospective purchasers should check lease length, any additional administration fees (lease packs) and commission a survey to confirm condition — the listing notes potential damp in places and some areas needing modernisation.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the local market or an investor aiming for a straightforward let with garden appeal. Expect to carry out typical mid-century flat maintenance and to verify lease details before purchase.
