The flat is well presented throughout and measures approximately 603 sq ft. It benefits from double glazing, a modern fitted kitchen and a shower room. A long lease (around 150 years) provides tenure security, and council tax is described as affordable.
Notable running costs and constraints are clear: the service charge is about £3,080 per year (approximately £256.66 pcm) and heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be expensive compared with gas. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect streaming or remote services. The property is small in overall size, so buyers seeking generous living space should note the compact layout.
