This immaculately presented ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a larger-than-average layout within a well-maintained modern development. The living room is bright and spacious, opening via patio doors onto a private enclosed paved patio — a low-maintenance outdoor space for morning coffee or a small social area. The fitted kitchen provides sensible storage and workspace, and gas central heating with a boiler and radiators provides dependable warmth.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, a secure entry system, and long leasehold tenure of approximately 119 years, which supports mortgageability and long-term value retention. Communal gardens are tidy and regularly maintained, contributing to the estate’s quiet, suburban character. The flat’s internal space reads generous for a one-bedroom, making it suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers, or buy-to-let investors seeking easy upkeep.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge (approx. £2,004) and ground rent (£250), which affect running costs. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow — important for home working or streaming — and the ground-floor frontage gives limited privacy, facing communal paths and nearby street parking. The local area shows higher levels of deprivation and average crime figures; prospective buyers should check local factors and commute/amenity links to ensure they match needs.
Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance apartment with long lease security and convenient parking. It will particularly appeal to first-time purchasers wanting move-in-ready accommodation or investors seeking straightforward rental appeal, provided they accept modest external space and address broadband limitations.
