Be aware of a few material points. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. The property is on the second floor and accessed by stairs only, so it may not suit anyone requiring step-free access. Annual service charges are around £1,900 and ground rent is £10 per year—relatively high for a small 366 sq ft flat, and these communal costs should be factored into budgeting.
Overall this apartment offers a tidy, move-in-ready option in a quiet, well-located building with communal grounds and parking. It suits buyers prioritising location, low internal maintenance and rental potential, provided the running costs and stairs are acceptable.
