This first-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment offers a practical starter home close to Hinckley town centre and rail links. The main bedroom has an ensuite and the open-plan lounge/dining room opens to a Juliet balcony, giving a light, flexible living space. Allocated off-street parking and a reasonable EPC C rating add convenience and running-cost confidence.
The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) and double-glazed; the lease is long (134 years remaining). Annual charges are clear: service charge £1,582.04, ground rent £196 and a small reserve fund. The property is sold chain free, making a quick move straightforward for a buyer wanting a commuter base or affordable first home.
Be candid about the condition and local context: the living room shows wear and will need redecoration or new floorcoverings, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system. The neighbourhood statistics show higher local crime and area deprivation, which may concern some buyers. These factors, paired with the service charges and leasehold tenure, are important when assessing long-term costs and suitability.
Overall this flat suits a budget-conscious first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-in rental near transport and local amenities, provided you accept some cosmetic work and the leasehold running costs. Viewing will show how the apartment’s layout and balcony make the most of the space for comfortable everyday living.
