A former show apartment in a modern red-brick development, this two-bedroom flat sits in the town centre within easy walking distance of shops and the railway station. The layout is practical: a separate living room with Juliet balcony, an upgraded kitchen/diner with integrated appliances, and two double bedrooms with built-in storage.
Practical ownership features include an extremely long lease (around 986 years remaining), allocated off-street parking, lift access and secured entry. uPVC double glazing and fitted appliances reduce immediate maintenance needs, making the property straightforward to occupy or let.
There are important cost and location factors to note. Annual service charges are about £1,620 and ground rent is £179 per year; heating is by electric room heaters which can mean higher running costs than gas. The local area scores as deprived with a higher recorded crime level, which may affect resale or rental demand for some buyers.
Overall, this compact, chain-free apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking central convenience or an investor wanting a low-maintenance rental close to transport links. Viewing is recommended to assess space, finish and the town-centre setting in person.
