This top-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into the SO18 market. At about 469 sq ft the layout is compact and efficient, with a naturally lit living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. The property is leasehold with 133 years remaining and available with no forward chain.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, communal garden, and relatively modern construction (built 1996–2002). The apartment is heated by electric storage heaters and runs on electricity; buyers should note running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Service charge is c. £1,500 per year.
This home suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-entry purchase in a convenient urban location with fast broadband and good mobile signal. Material factors to consider before viewing: the neighbourhood records higher crime and very deprived area statistics, and the flat is modest in size with limited scope for internal expansion without reconfiguration. Prospective purchasers should budget for ongoing service charges and assess heating costs and personal safety preferences.
