For commuters and professionals, the property delivers practical benefits: allocated parking in a gated car park, lift access, secure entry system, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The build date (2003–2006) and double glazing mean relatively modern construction and reasonable ongoing maintenance.

Council tax is above average for the area and local crime rates are above average; buyers should factor these recurring costs and local safety context into budgeting.
With no onward chain, this property suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home with parking and pleasant communal grounds. It also offers sensible medium-term investment potential thanks to long lease length and strong area connectivity.
