This chain-free, one-bedroom flat in The Heart offers a straightforward move for a first-time buyer seeking town-centre convenience. The open-plan living space, balcony and allocated parking make daily life easy; local shops, cafés and transport links are a short walk away. At 610 sq ft the layout feels roomy for a single person or couple.
The building is a modern, purpose-built development (2007–2011) with double glazing and communal gardens. There is underground/off-street allocated parking and very low local crime, supporting a secure, commuter-friendly lifestyle. The property is advertised with an approximate internal area of 57 sq m, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat. Annual service charge is £3,841.80 and ground rent is £250 per year — both material costs that affect monthly outgoings and buy-to-let yields. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, which can influence running costs and preferences.
The layout and finish are modern and move-in ready, but there is no private garden and outdoor space is limited to the balcony. The property suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a town-centre rental; factor in service charges, lease terms and heating type when assessing affordability and long-term costs.
