Ground-floor one-bed with garage, communal garden and no onward chain — ideal for first-time buyers.
Long lease of 956 years, leasehold
A well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment in a 1970s brick block, presented with no onward chain and a very long lease (956 years). The light reception room opens to attractive communal gardens, creating a pleasant indoor-outdoor feel, while a private garage in a block and a large storage cupboard add practical storage and parking benefits. The property sits within easy reach of frequent bus links and a range of local amenities, with several Good-rated primary and secondary schools nearby.
This flat will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the market or investors looking for a straightforward rental proposition. The accommodation is modern and well-maintained, with double glazing fitted after 2002 and communal green space that enhances appeal for tenants or owners wanting outdoor access without maintenance responsibility.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is by electric storage radiators, which can be more costly than mains gas, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. The property is in an area recorded with higher crime levels, which may affect desirability and rental yield in comparison to quieter neighbourhoods. Overall, this apartment offers solid value for money given its low council tax band, transport links, garage and long lease, but it may benefit from energy-efficiency improvements and consideration of local safety factors.
