Built 1930–1949 (period construction characteristics)
Set within a small block of four apartments in sought-after Ashley Cross, this ground-floor two-bedroom home offers immediate move-in readiness and easy single-level living. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and built-in wardrobes; bedroom two also has fitted storage. Recently redecorated throughout, the open-plan kitchen/living area opens via French doors to a private patio and on to a large, lawned communal garden that is effectively accessed only from this apartment.
Practical ownership features include a shared freehold, no ground rent and a long lease (about 177 years remaining). Off-street parking is provided and local amenities, bus links and good schools are all close by. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern connectivity needs.
Known considerations are the annual service charge of approximately £2,000 and the building’s cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated; further insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades may be desirable. The property was constructed between 1930–1949, so buyers seeking a wholly new build specification should expect some period construction characteristics.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a low-maintenance, well-located property with garden access and sensible long-term tenure arrangements. It offers a tidy, contemporary finish now and straightforward potential to increase efficiency or personalise further.
