Compact, modern two-bed in desirable Wellswood with parking and communal garden.
Chain-free share of freehold with 162 years remaining
This bright ground-floor 2-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome pre-1900 building in popular Wellswood, a short walk from local shops, a pub and well-regarded schools. The open-plan living area features a modern fitted kitchen and good natural light, while the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes. Allocated off-street parking and access to a communal garden add practical outdoor space rarely found with city apartments.
Practical ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with 162 years remaining, chain-free sale, no ground rent and a low council tax band. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, the neighbourhood is very low crime and the surrounding area is affluent — attractive points for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking reliable rental demand.
Buyers should note this is a listed property, which brings planning restrictions and listed-status procedures that may complicate alterations. Service charges are relatively high at about £2,250 per year and the flat is compact (approximately 327 sq ft). Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s granite walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean higher running costs and possible retrofit work. The lease also contains pet restrictions and other covenants to check before purchase.
