Set within a gated modern development, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers straightforward buy-to-let potential or an entry-level home. It has its own private entrance, allocated parking and a landscaped rear garden — practical benefits for tenants and owners alike. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and balcony bring natural light to the living space, while double glazing helps with thermal comfort.
The property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,440pa and a ground rent of £150pa. It is currently let at £600pcm, providing an immediate income stream; it can also be sold with vacant possession for an owner-occupier. Council tax is very low, helping running costs, but the main heating is electric room heaters rather than a central system.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records high crime and very high deprivation, and the local classification indicates hampered aspiration. The flat is small at about 571 sq ft and dated aspects of heating and potential internal finishes may require investment. These factors have been reflected in the price, presenting potential for an investor or a purchaser willing to refresh the property.
Overall, the home suits a landlord seeking a tenancy-ready purchase on a modern estate, or a first-time buyer prepared to carry out modest updates to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The combination of gated setting, private entrance and allocated parking gives practical appeal in a challenging but affordable local market.
