This bright first-floor flat offers a freshly renovated, move-in-ready layout with contemporary finishes and practical storage. The modern fitted kitchen includes integrated oven and stylish cabinetry, while the living room benefits from twin windows that flood the space with natural light. Both bedrooms are well proportioned, and the bathroom is updated with a shower-over-bath suite.
The building sits on a long lease (125 years from January 1990) with a low ground rent of £10 per year and a service charge of £78.80 per quarter (£315.20 annually). Council Tax is band A, making running costs relatively low. Gas central heating, double glazing and neutral décor throughout reduce immediate maintenance work for a new owner.
Notable negatives are straightforward: the property is leasehold, located in an area with above-average crime and wider local deprivation, and it is in a mid-20th century block typical of its era. The flat does include communal outdoor space and two secure storage cupboards (one internal, one external), which add practical value.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable, stylish starter home or investors looking for a competitively priced let in a city/major town location. A viewing is advised to assess the neighbourhood context and the building’s communal areas in person.
