Communal gardens and off-street parking add everyday convenience. The building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s, with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with approximately 98 years remaining, and council tax is moderate. The local area is inner-city and classed as deprived with higher crime levels, which could affect resale or rental appeal. The glazing install date is unknown and some communal elements may need ongoing maintenance; buyers should budget for routine upkeep and confirm any service charges and ground rent.
