A two-bedroom ground-floor flat set within a small purpose-built block a short walk from Cannock town centre. The layout includes a separate kitchen, living room, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The property has allocated off-street parking, access to a communal garden, low ground rent (£50) and a below-average service charge (£480).
This lot is being sold by Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve price; buyers should factor in a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer’s administration costs and the auction timescale (completion within 56 days). The lease has around 65 years remaining — this is short and may restrict mortgage options and resale value unless extended.
The flat suits a cash buyer, an investor seeking a low-maintenance let, or a first-time buyer who can manage the lease and auction process. The building dates from the 1930–1949 period with solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and gas central heating; improvements such as insulation, cosmetic updating and checking the electrics/boiler should be expected. Note the area records higher local crime levels; factor security and insurance implications into any offer.
No upward chain and proximity to schools, bus links and local shops are practical selling points. Prospective buyers must review the buyer information pack, complete their own due diligence on lease and service arrangements, and confirm exact auction costs before bidding.
