This ground-floor studio is a straightforward option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase. Chain-free with a long lease and modern kitchen and bathroom, it offers immediate rental or owner-occupation potential without delay.
The layout is compact and practical: an open-plan living/sleeping area, modern laminate flooring and double glazing keep maintenance needs low. A communal garden adds outside space uncommon for small apartments.
Be clear about the trade-offs: heating is by electric room heaters, which can be costly compared with mains gas, and the building dates from the 1980s with a timber frame construction. The property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics, so buyers should weigh local conditions and potential rental demand carefully.
Positive practical points include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low council tax, which support either letting or low-cost owner occupation. EPC rated D; some efficiency improvements could reduce running costs further.
