Set on the lower slopes of North Hill, this well-presented two-bedroom second-floor apartment suits downsizers or those seeking a low-maintenance home with pleasant town and hill views. The apartment is part of a modern, purpose-built development (built 2007–2011) and benefits from gas-fired central heating, double glazing and an en-suite to the master bedroom.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a double-aspect lounge/diner, a practical galley-style kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The accommodation is roughly average in size (around 760 sq ft) and has been maintained to a conventional, neutral standard—move-in ready for most purchasers.
Practical positives include a garage with an additional parking space directly in front, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The apartment is leasehold with 137 years remaining, which gives long-term security for most buyers, but note there is an annual service charge (£1,476.46) and a modest ground rent (£243.32).
Be transparent about local issues: the area records above-average crime levels compared with national figures, and the building has communal entrances and shared external areas. For buyers seeking peace of mind, arranging a full survey and checking service-charge accounts is recommended to confirm ongoing costs and management arrangements.
