A compact two‑bedroom first‑floor apartment offered chain‑free on a canal‑side development. At about 469 sq ft this open‑plan flat gives practical living with a small balcony, gas central heating and double glazing — ready to move into or let out straightaway. The property benefits from a long lease (circa 134 years), an allocated/communal parking provision and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for working from home.
The building is modern (built 2003–2006) and the communal maintenance is managed via a below‑average service charge of around £800 a year. There is no flood risk and the property’s simple layout — entrance hall, open plan living/kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms — suits first‑time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or buy‑to‑let investors targeting local rental demand.
Buyers should note the apartment is small and will suit those who prioritise location and low running costs over generous space. The wider area is classified as very deprived with above‑average crime rates; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and amenity considerations. The unit is leasehold, so factor in the leasehold tenure and annual service charge when assessing long‑term costs.
Overall this is a budget‑priced, low‑maintenance home offering immediate occupancy or straightforward rental potential in a well‑connected area with quick access to the A500/M6 corridor.
