This ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a well-kept modern development in Dudley, ideal for a first-time buyer or someone looking to downsize. The apartment has an open-plan living area with patio doors that look onto playing fields, a double bedroom and an allocated parking bay — useful practical benefits for everyday life.
The layout is compact but efficiently arranged across about 539 sqft. The fitted kitchen, bathroom and living space are presented in good order, and recent double glazing is in place. The property is leasehold with about 104 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £1,200 and a small ground rent of approximately £150 — all common costs to factor into monthly budgeting.
There are some material drawbacks to note. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas heating. The development sits in an area classified as deprived with above-average local crime levels, which may affect resale expectations and personal security perceptions. Broadband speeds are average and the immediate surroundings are urban rather than scenic.
For a buyer seeking a sensible, low-maintenance starter home close to Dudley town centre, local colleges and transport links, this flat offers good practical value. It will suit someone who prioritises location, affordability and a move-in ready finish, while being comfortable with leasehold costs and electric heating.
