Quietly tucked on Gainsborough Drive, this first-floor two-bedroom home offers practical living with no onward chain. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner benefits from a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a contemporary bathroom — move-in ready for a buyer seeking convenience and low initial hassle.
Externally the property includes private garden space and off-street parking, rare extras for a flat at this price point. At about 551 sq ft, the layout makes efficient use of space with two well-proportioned bedrooms and handy hallway storage, suited to first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for straightforward rental potential.
Buyers should note the overall size is small and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs. The surrounding area has higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, so viewings should take local context into account. Council tax is very low and broadband speeds are fast, adding practical savings and connectivity.
This share-of-freehold property represents a sensible purchase for those prioritising location, transport links and turn-key interiors, but it also presents scope for energy-improvement works and selective updating to add value over time.
