Bright, centrally located two-bedroom third-floor apartment ideal for a first-time purchase or buy-to-let. The flat offers a long lounge/diner, separate kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms and one bathroom, all in neutral, market-ready condition with laminate and carpeted floors. Allocated off-street parking and a town-centre location within walking distance of shops and mainline stations add practical everyday appeal.
The building is a modern purpose-built block (circa 1996–2002) with low-maintenance communal areas. The lease has around 103 years remaining and the property is offered chain free — it is also available on a shared ownership basis, which can lower the upfront cost for qualifying buyers. Council Tax is affordable and flood risk is low.
Notable running-cost and condition points: heating is provided by electric storage heaters, and the property pays an annual service charge (approx. £1,811.52 per year / £150.96 monthly). The apartment has double glazing installed before 2002 and no private garden, so outdoor space is limited to small communal grounds. Local crime statistics are higher than average for the area, which prospective buyers should factor into location suitability and rental considerations.
Overall, this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a town-centre, low-maintenance home or investors targeting steady rental demand near transport links. Light cosmetic updating could increase market value; inspect internally to judge heating comfort and communal upkeep.
