Summary - 42, Torrington Drive CH61 7UY
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, ready-to-live apartment with parking and communal gardens.
Two double bedrooms and a smart fitted kitchen
This immaculately presented two-bedroom second-floor flat is a tidy, move-in ready option for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking steady rental demand. The light lounge and smart fitted kitchen make efficient use of the compact 667 sq ft footprint, while two double bedrooms suit a variety of living arrangements or tenancy layouts.
Practical running costs are clear: leasehold with 114 years remaining, a modest ground rent of £10 and an annual service charge of £773.71 (building insurance £82.85). Council Tax Band A keeps local taxation very low. Off-street communal parking and pleasant communal gardens add outdoor convenience and curb appeal.
There are some trade-offs to note. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may increase energy costs compared with gas-heated homes. Double glazing was fitted before 2002. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the flat sits in an area categorised as outer city hardship—factors to weigh for long-term occupation or rental yield.
Overall, this tidy mid-century flat offers sensible running costs, a long lease and straightforward accommodation near schools, local shops and motorway links. It represents a realistic, low-maintenance step onto (or back into) the property ladder, or a practical buy-to-let with easy tenant appeal. Interested parties should verify appliances, services and measurements independently.
