This bright two-bedroom ground-floor flat is an appealing first home or city-base, positioned at the end of a quiet no-through road in Banister Park. The apartment offers an open-plan kitchen into a lounge/diner with a private, green outlook and good natural light from large windows.
Practical features include built-in hallway storage, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a secure undercroft parking space. The long remainder of a 999-year lease (approximately 956 years unexpired) removes long-lease uncertainty and broadband and mobile connectivity are strong for city living.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge of around £2,400 and unspecified ground rent details; these must be confirmed by a solicitor. The building dates from the mid-20th century and cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so further thermal upgrades may be needed to cut running costs.
There is a medium flood risk for the area and the block is a 1950s–60s construction, so buyers seeking a move-in-perfect home should factor in potential maintenance and modernisation. Overall, it suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, practical flat close to the city centre and transport links.
