This chain-free, first-floor one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Warrington with a genuine low-cost ownership profile. The property sits within easy walking distance of Warrington town centre and both main train stations, making it practical for commuters and those who want amenities close by. The lease is exceptionally long (960 years) and running costs are low: modest service charge and minimal ground rent.
Accommodation is compact and will suit a single occupant, couple, or a buy-to-let investor seeking a straightforward let. The layout comprises an average-sized reception room opening to a small kitchen, one double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom. The block is mid-20th century brick construction with double glazing and conventional gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Internally the flat is dated and will benefit from cosmetic updating; carpets and decor show wear but there is no obvious structural concern from the description. Buyers should note the location scores highly for deprivation and recorded crime is high locally — worthwhile to factor into safety and rental considerations. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong, a practical advantage for working from home or streaming.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-cost purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who prioritises location, low ongoing charges and long lease security over immediate modern finish. Viewing recommended to assess room sizes and renovation potential in person.
