Set within a modern residential complex on Hill Lane, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with clear rental appeal. The open-plan lounge/dining room flows to a balcony overlooking maintained communal gardens, while the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite; an allocated parking space adds convenience for residents.
For investors, the property’s location in a cosmopolitan, student-dense neighbourhood and chain-free status make it easy to market and let quickly. Practical features include double glazing, an 868 sq ft layout with two bathrooms, a long lease (132 years remaining), and fast broadband and mobile coverage — useful for student or young-professional tenants.
There are important costs and limitations to note. Heating is by electric room heaters, which will increase running costs compared with gas heating. The current service charge is approximately £2,600 per year and ground rent is £100, both of which should be budgeted for. The area records higher crime levels, so buyers should factor this into insurance and tenant screening.
Overall, this is a practical, modern apartment that suits buy-to-let investors or owner-occupiers seeking easy-care living close to green spaces, transport links and local amenities. The long lease and chain-free sale simplify purchase, but plan for above-average communal charges and electric heating costs.
