A roomy ground-floor one-bedroom flat in a quiet cul-de-sac, offering 743 sq ft of living space ready for a first-time buyer to personalise. The property has a separate lounge, a good-sized bedroom and kitchen, plus a communal garden and nearby park — practical everyday assets close to the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother hospital.
The flat is a blank canvas and requires renovation: cosmetic and likely updating work is needed to create a comfortable long-term home. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing was installed post-2002. The 124-year lease and nominal £1 ground rent give long-term security, but the property is leasehold and comes with an average annual service charge of about £1,715.
Location factors are mixed. The address sits in a very deprived ward with a “hampered aspiration” classification and average local crime levels, which may affect resale speed and values. On the positive side, schools nearby have Good Ofsted ratings, broadband speeds are fast, and there is easy access to local amenities and bus links.
This flat suits a practical first-time buyer who wants space to renovate and personalise while benefiting from a long lease and low ground rent. Buyers should factor in renovation costs, verify services and appliances, and confirm all tenure details with a solicitor before proceeding.
