This purpose-built two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat sits within a modern development close to Westwood Cross retail park. At about 807 sq ft it offers an average-sized, low-maintenance home with allocated off-street parking and integrated garage provision — practical for first-time buyers or investors seeking convenience and rental appeal.
The property comes chain free and benefits from a long lease of 107 years, providing tenure security. Communal grounds are minimal and there is likely little or no private garden; external maintenance is therefore low but outside amenity space is limited. Council tax is described as cheap, and broadband and mobile signals are acceptable for everyday needs.
Notable negatives are clear and factual: the flat is in an area with a high crime rate and very high local deprivation, which may affect resale and rental demand. Heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas central heating), which can lead to higher running costs, and the property has a ground rent of £360 per year. There are no flooding risks recorded.
Overall this is a practical, contemporary apartment offering secure parking, a solid lease length and proximity to shops and transport. It will suit first-time buyers wanting straightforward, low-upkeep living or investors looking for an affordable rental unit, provided buyers are comfortable with the local area profile and electric heating setup.
