Heating is provided by electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated C (73). The layout is traditional and the accommodation is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with a smaller footprint.
Its location is the strongest selling point: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good public transport links make commuting simple. Estimated rental income is around £825–£850 pcm, supporting investment potential. No forward chain means a quicker, simpler purchase route.
Buyers should note the higher-than-average local crime rate and that the area sits within a more deprived ward.

Prospective purchasers should verify lease details and service charge accounts and budget for ongoing maintenance and electric heating costs.
