Quietly positioned between Minworth and Curdworth, this larger-than-average ground-floor apartment offers an uncomplicated, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers or downsizers. The flat includes a comfortable lounge, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom — all arranged for easy everyday living. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add practical outdoor space and convenience.
The property is leasehold with 101 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £1,606. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow — important to consider for home workers or heavy internet users.
Constructed within the 2003–2006 period, the building presents modern brick elevations and double glazing. The interior is neutrally presented and largely ready to occupy, though some fixtures (carpet, light fittings) show normal wear and could benefit from minor updating. There is potential to improve value with cosmetic refurbishment.
Practical positives include no onward chain, a generous 657 sq ft layout, allocated parking and easy access to motorway links. Buyers should note the leasehold status, service charge, electric heating and limited broadband before committing. Overall, this is a sensible, low-maintenance option for someone seeking an affordable entry into the area.
