140 Colinton,SKELMERSDALE,WN8 9AE
WN8 9AE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
No chain and long lease — affordable entry for buyers and landlords.
Two double bedrooms and large lounge, circa 651 sq ft
A practical two-bedroom first-floor apartment offered with no onward chain and a guide price of £70,000. The layout delivers two double bedrooms, a large lounge, fitted kitchen and bathroom across about 651 sq ft — a straightforward starter-home or rental unit in a purpose-built block. Communal off-street parking and handy entrance storage add everyday convenience.
The property sits on a long lease (over 100 years remaining) with an annual leasehold charge of £924.48, which covers service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance. Broadband and mobile signal are reported strong, and local primary and secondary schools nearby hold Good Ofsted ratings, supporting family life or tenant demand.
Buyers should note the surrounding area is classified as a deprived, transitional neighbourhood with an Eastern European influence; crime levels are average. The building is a mid-20th century modernist brick block with typical room sizes and standard ceiling heights — the apartment is habitable but may suit buyers willing to modernise cosmetic finishes to maximise value or rental income.
Overall this is a budget-friendly opportunity for first-time buyers seeking a low-entry London‑area alternative or for investors targeting steady lettings. Viewings are recommended to assess finish and potential in person.
