Chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor flat with 50ft private garden — ideal first-time buy..
Chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor garden flat
A bright, chain-free one-bedroom garden flat in the sought-after Corbett Estate, offered with a share of the freehold. High ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and period fireplace give the flat character, while large windows flood the main rooms with natural light. The private garden extends to just over 50ft, with both lawn and patio areas and dual access from the bedroom and kitchen.
Practical strengths include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an overall generous 637 sq ft layout for a one-bedroom property. Local amenities, good bus links and strong primary schools nearby make this a sensible choice for a first-time buyer seeking space and outdoor access in an affluent, commuter-friendly area.
Notable considerations: the building dates from the 1930s–1940s and the external walls are solid brick with no original cavity insulation (assumed), so an insulation upgrade could be beneficial to reduce heating costs. As a ground-floor garden flat, buyers should check for any maintenance or damp issues typically associated with lower-level properties. The apartment has one shower room and will suit buyers who need one-bedroom accommodation rather than larger family space.
Overall this flat offers period charm, a rare long private garden for a flat and immediate move-in availability via share of freehold. It should appeal to first-time buyers who prioritise space, outdoor privacy and strong local amenities, while planning modest upgrades for insulation or any personal modernisation.
