Move-in-ready two-bedroom flat with long lease and low council tax, ideal for first-time buyers..
- Newly renovated two-bedroom flat, ready to move in
- 142 years remaining on lease, leasehold tenure
- Council Tax Band A — very low local tax costs
- Small overall size: about 588 sq ft (54.7 sqm)
- Small private garden included, ground-floor unit
- Area records high crime and very high deprivation
- Older double glazing and likely uninsulated cavity walls
- Excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity
This newly renovated two-bedroom flat on Windmill Road offers a ready-to-move-in starter home with a long lease and low running costs. Neutral décor, herringbone-style flooring in the living room and double glazing provide a bright, comfortable interior arranged around a practical reception room and compact kitchen. With 142 years remaining on the lease and Council Tax in Band A, the financial basics are favourable for first-time buyers.
The property sits in a mid-20th-century brick block and includes a small garden — a rare bonus for flats in the area. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local amenities and bus links are within easy reach. The layout suits a couple or small family seeking an affordable entry into Coventry’s housing market.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the immediate neighbourhood records higher crime and very high area deprivation, which may affect resale or rental appeal. The building’s cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the double glazing predates 2002 — both factors that could influence energy efficiency and heating costs despite a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The flat is leasehold and chain free.
Overall, this is a practical, low-cost opportunity for someone prioritising location, affordability and a move-in-ready interior. Investors should weigh rental demand against local area challenges; first-time buyers will find a long lease and low council tax attractive but should budget for possible future energy improvements.
