Set on the ground floor of a modern development, this two-double-bedroom flat offers practical, low-maintenance living close to transport links. The bright living/dining room flows to a modern fitted kitchen; both bedrooms are doubles and the bathroom is a contemporary white suite. Allocated off-street parking and well-kept communal grounds add convenience for everyday life.
The property is chain-free and comes with a long lease (129 years), making it straightforward to purchase. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed post-2002, helping with energy performance. The flat is compact at about 556 sq ft, so it suits buyers wanting an affordable, manageable home or a rental investment in a major conurbation.
Be aware of running costs beyond the purchase price: an annual service charge of about £2,083 is payable, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The local area scores high on deprivation and has average crime levels, which may matter to some buyers. Council tax is low, and the property has no flooding risk.
Overall, this is a sensible option for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-into, low-maintenance two-bedroom apartment with long lease security and allocated parking. Buyers who prioritise larger living space, fast broadband or a more affluent neighbourhood may prefer to look elsewhere.
