A compact two-bedroom second-floor apartment in Wadsley Park Village, well suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable foothold near Hillsborough. The lounge/diner enjoys pleasant outlooks over the estate and distant Sheffield hills, and the master bedroom shares the same view. The kitchen is modern with built-in oven and practical workspace; the accommodation is presented in light, neutral décor throughout.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, a secure communal entrance with intercom, and excellent public transport links (including the Supertram) within easy walking distance. The long lease (approximately 975 years remaining) and low ground rent provide tenure security; council tax is in the lowest band, helping ongoing costs.
Notable drawbacks are candidly presented: the property uses electric storage heaters and is rated EPC C, so heating costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. There is a quarterly service charge (around £350) and a small annual ground rent (£75), which buyers should factor into budgets. The apartment totals about 551 sq ft, so space is compact compared with larger family homes.
Overall this apartment is a practical, well-located option for a first-time buyer or investor wanting straightforward upkeep, good transport access, and long lease assurance. A viewing will best convey the outlook and room proportions for those prioritising location and value over generous internal space.
