This one-bedroom upper-floor flat in Water Orton presents a straightforward, affordable entry into the local market. Offered chain-free with a long lease (124 years remaining), the apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking easy access to commuter links — Water Orton station is within walking distance.
The apartment offers an open-plan lounge and kitchen, a double bedroom and a shower/bathroom within an average-sized 506 sq ft layout. The building is a mid-20th-century, mid-terrace block with double glazing and small communal gardens; the flat’s electric storage heating makes it simple to manage but may be costlier to run than gas heating.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold, with an annual service charge around £1,540 and a ground rent of £10. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area, and the finish is typical of its era — this flat will suit someone happy to live in as-is or make modest cosmetic improvements to add value.
For buyers prioritising location and a straightforward purchase, this apartment offers a low-price, low-entry option close to local amenities and transport. Investors should factor running costs, service charges and heating type into yield calculations.
