This modern ground-floor two-bedroom apartment on William Wailes Walk offers straightforward, low-maintenance living in a recently constructed block (post-2012). The open-plan lounge and dining area with Juliet balcony creates a bright, flexible living space; the master bedroom benefits from an en suite and both bathrooms are fitted. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add practical convenience for everyday life.
The flat is a leasehold with a long remaining term (237 years) and a modest service charge (£156 pcm), making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking a manageable monthly cost. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, while the location places you near shops, transport links and local amenities.
Buyers should note clear, factual drawbacks: the property sits in a higher-crime, more deprived ward, which may affect resale and perceptions of safety. It is leasehold (not freehold) so purchasers must accept the leasehold costs and rules. No major structural faults are indicated, but communal living and retirement-classified surroundings mean there may be building-level rules and shared maintenance responsibilities.
Overall this apartment is a practical, modern entry-level home or buy-to-let prospect for someone prioritising contemporary interiors, low upkeep and convenient transport links. Viewings are recommended to assess the communal environment and confirm fittings and finishes to your satisfaction.
