This ground-floor, main-door apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance home arranged as lounge/diner, separate dining kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower-room. The layout is efficient for single-level living and suits someone seeking an easy-to-manage retirement flat or a straightforward buy-to-let with immediate rental appeal. The property is freehold and comes with off-street parking and communal garden maintenance handled via factoring.
The building is modern and well presented externally, with double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. The home-report valuation is £108,000 and the asking price is £105,000, reflecting a modest entry point in the local market. Interiors are clean and functional with oak internal finishes and laminate flooring in the hallway.
Notable limitations are factual and important: broadband speeds are reported as slow, the garden is communal rather than private, and shared factoring arrangements mean ongoing service charges for communal upkeep. The property sits within a very deprived area classification which may affect long-term capital growth; however, strong mobile signal and local amenities support day-to-day living.
Overall, this apartment represents a sensible, low-effort home for a retiree or a practical purchase for a first-time buyer or investor willing to accept modest communal costs and limited external amenity. There is clear scope to add value by updating the kitchen or shower-room to modern tastes.
