Recent upgrades include a new consumer unit, modern radiators, replacement internal fire doors and double glazing, contributing to an EPC B rating.
The property sits on a 103-year lease and comes with a dedicated parking bay and visitor pass. Communal upkeep and services are included in an annual service charge of approximately £1,800, which also covers barriered entry, regular cleaning and grounds maintenance. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for remote working.
Notable running-cost and tenure items: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas in winter. Ground rent is listed at £150 per year; confirm this in the legal pack. The development is located in a very deprived wider area, so local regeneration and amenities should be considered alongside the low local crime level and nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools.
Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking a contemporary, low-maintenance first home or an investor after a ready-to-rent unit with secure parking and strong connectivity. Verify service charge inclusions and ground rent details during purchase due diligence.
