This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Hobart Road offers an unusually long lease (142 years) and chain-free purchase—ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an easy move-in and future resale potential. The flat includes a private garden and allocated off-street parking, rare extras for a property of this size in a busy commutable location.
Internally the apartment feels contemporary: a bright lounge, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom and a modern bathroom. The building dates from the mid-20th century; double glazing is installed (pre-2002) and heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, though mobile signal is excellent.
Practical costs and local context are important. Service charges average £1,044 per year. The local area is classified as deprived with a higher local crime rate; buyers should weigh that against the strong road links (A40, M4, M25) and nearby schools with several rated Good or Outstanding. Construction details indicate cavity walls likely without insulation, which could mean future energy-efficiency upgrades if desired.
For a first-time buyer this property provides straightforward access to transport and outside space without a long waiting chain. For those prioritising low running costs and fast internet, consider the slow broadband and potential insulation work when budgeting. Overall this apartment suits someone seeking a commuter-friendly starter home with garden and parking, and scope to add value over time.
