Set opposite Moor Park, this second-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers elevated views over well-kept communal gardens and a private garage. At 566 sq ft the layout is efficient: an open lounge with balcony, fitted breakfast kitchen, two bedrooms, shower room plus separate WC and loft access for extra storage. A virtual tour is available to preview the apartment before visiting.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and retains mid-century proportions and double glazing. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so running costs will differ from gas-heated homes. The property is leasehold with a long 999-year term but a higher-than-average ground rent of £1,200 per year payable in two instalments — an important ongoing cost to budget for.
This flat suits a first-time buyer looking for an affordable city-base with parkside views, or an investor seeking straightforward rental potential close to local amenities and good transport links. Be aware the local area scores as deprived with above-average crime, and some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes; these factors may affect long-term suitability depending on buyer priorities. Internal inspection or the virtual viewing is recommended to judge condition and any modernisation needs.
