This well-presented first-floor apartment occupies a 1930s detached building and offers practical living for a first-time buyer or investor. The property benefits from a long lease (952 years remaining), gas central heating, double glazing and a good-size rear garden accessed via shared side entry. The living room features a front bay window and a fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and a combi boiler for efficient hot water and heating.
The layout includes two bedrooms and a bathroom with tiled finishes, suited to small households or rental tenants. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong locally, and nearby schools have good to outstanding Ofsted ratings. The property is offered chain-free, which simplifies a quick sale or let.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s compact overall size (approximately 522 sq ft) and the large rear garden, which is currently overgrown and requires gardening to reach its potential. Maintenance of shared areas is handled as-and-when with the ground-floor flat. Council Tax Band A applies.
Overall, the flat presents immediate move-in options with modest updating potential — an accessible purchase for first-time buyers wanting outside space, or investors seeking a straightforward rental opportunity.
