This one-bedroom first-floor flat offers a straightforward entry into town-centre living with 553 sq ft of well-proportioned space. The accommodation includes a lounge/dining area, separate kitchen, double bedroom and a full bathroom — suitable for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor wanting a central location.
Practical benefits include a very long lease of 976 years, chain-free sale, double glazing and no flood risk. The apartment is set within a modern mid-terrace block built c.1996–2002 and sits close to shops, transport links and local amenities.
Be clear about running costs and local context: heating is by electric room heaters which can be more expensive than gas, and the current service charge is £1,845 per year with a small £100 ground rent. The wider area shows higher deprivation and very high crime levels — buyers should check local safety data and insurance implications.
Overall this property is a practical, low-maintenance central flat with long lease security and easy access to town services. It will suit buyers prioritising location and lease length, but those seeking low-running-cost heating or a quieter neighbourhood should factor in the heating type and local crime statistics.
