A smartly presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat in a period terrace, freshly renovated and move-in ready. The open-plan living space benefits from a large patio door that floods the room with light and gives direct access to a fully enclosed, low-maintenance paved garden with gated front-to-back access and an awning for summer shade.
Practical features include an integrated kitchen with appliances, a utility area housing the included washing machine, a double shower room, gas central heating and double glazing. The property comes with a nearby garage in a block of three and a very long 900-year lease as part of a share of freehold arrangement—there is no ground rent or regular service charge.
At about 363 sq ft (c.33.7 sq m) this is a compact home best suited to a single occupant, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-running-cost accommodation; council tax is very cheap and flood risk is nil. The surrounding area is classed as deprived with a majority private-renting population, so consider rental demand and local market dynamics if buying to let.
Negatives to note: internal space is small and storage limited, and while recently renovated the flat offers modest room sizes and limited scope for major extension. Building insurance is shared equally between the three freeholders. Overall this is a practical, economical entry-level property with immediate usability and straightforward low-maintenance living.
