- Service charge £960 per year (below average)

Neatly presented one-bedroom flat on the second floor, with a private balcony and separate lounge. The modern kitchen and well-kept interior make it easy to move in or rent out immediately. With 484 sq ft of accommodation, it suits a single occupant or couple seeking manageable space close to transport.
Practical running costs are favourable: a long lease (173 years), low ground rent (£10), and a below-average service charge (£960) help keep ongoing costs predictable. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and tenant appeal. EPC rating D — functional but with potential to improve energy efficiency.
Location is convenient for Carpenders Park station, local shops and several highly rated primary schools nearby, which supports both owner-occupiers and lettings. Note the wider context: the neighbourhood is classified as hampered/constrained with high crime and high deprivation indicators, which may affect resale values and rental demand for some buyers.
This property is well suited to first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home or investors after a straightforward, ready-to-rent flat. Buyers should confirm mechanical and structural condition via inspection; some original mid-20th-century construction features (solid brick walls, assumed no insulation) may limit immediate energy-efficiency gains without further work.
