The layout includes a living room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and one bathroom within 553 sq ft — well suited to a first-time buyer or couple seeking affordable entry to the area. The flat benefits from an allocated off-street parking space and a private rear garden, rare extras at this price point.
The property is leasehold (long lease remaining: 964 years) with a reasonable service charge of £720 per year and an EPC rating of C; council tax band A keeps ongoing costs low. Constructed in the early 1990s, it has double glazing and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The residents’ association holds cash reserves for communal repairs, which helps with upkeep confidence.
Buyers should note material considerations: the apartment is small and will suit those comfortable with compact living, the neighbourhood records higher crime rates, and the location has a medium flood risk. The building is generally modern but dated features such as pre-2002 double glazing and standard ceiling heights mean cosmetic updating may be desired. Overall, this is a practical, budget-conscious home with clear strengths for local convenience and low-running costs.
