This two-bedroom first-floor flat in Worsdell House offers a practical, affordable entry into Crewe’s housing market. The open-plan kitchen/living room with Juliette balcony brings natural light into a well-proportioned 56.2 m² (605 sq ft) layout, and both bedrooms are double-sized for flexible use. The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a dedicated off-street parking space.
The property is leasehold and priced competitively at £85,000, making it suited to first-time buyers seeking a low-cost home or investors targeting rental demand in a town-centre location. Nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings and the flat is a short walk from shops and public transport, which supports commuting and tenant appeal. Council tax is very cheap, which helps keep ongoing costs low.
Be candid about the local context: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with a local population profile of constrained renters and migrant families. That can support steady rental demand but also means local amenities and resale values may be affected. The flat is described as ready for personalisation rather than turnkey luxury—there’s clear potential to add value through cosmetic updating.
Important practical points: the tenure is leasehold (check remaining lease length and any service charges), and the overall property footprint is relatively small. For buyers who prioritise low purchase price, good transport links and straightforward maintenance, this flat presents a practical, affordable option with scope to improve and personalise.
