Summary - 8, Doughty Close DY4 7AJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment with parking — long lease and good transport links.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment with en-suite to master
A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a modern development, offered with no upward chain and ready for a new owner. The layout includes a living room with bay window, a fitted kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms with an en-suite to the master, and a family bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and a secure entry system add everyday convenience.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors: 135 years remaining on the lease, an EPC C rating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Annual costs include an approximate service charge of £1,800 and ground rent around £200, while council tax is very low. The property was constructed c.2003–2006 and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: main heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, which may raise running costs and limit heating comfort. The wider area records higher crime and is classified as very deprived, which can affect resale values and tenancy demand. The apartment is average-sized at about 668 sq ft and may need modernisation depending on buyer taste.
Overall this apartment offers accessible entry to the market or a straightforward rental opportunity in a modern estate close to shops, schools and transport links. Visitors should weigh the lower purchase price and long lease against running costs and local area factors before arranging a viewing.
