This well-proportioned two-bedroom flat on the third floor offers bright living spaces, a separate kitchen and a private balcony — a straightforward layout that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers. The accommodation totals about 693 sq ft and sits in a secure, purpose-built block moments from Mare Street and Well Street amenities.
Practical details include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, a long lease (approximately 103 years remaining) and a modest ground rent of £10. The current average service charge is listed as £2,018, so budget for communal costs when assessing affordability.
Be realistic about local context: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates. The building dates from the 1950–66 period and walls are likely cavity construction with no installed insulation, which may affect running costs and future retrofit works. Flooding risk is low.
Nearby schooling and plentiful local shops, cafés and transport links are genuine strengths, making this a convenient base for working buyers or a lettable flat for investors. The property is ready to move into but factoring modest upgrades or insulation improvements will enhance comfort and long-term value.
