Internally the layout is traditional and compact (approximately 608 sq ft) with two generously proportioned bedrooms, a contemporary open-plan living/kitchen area and a modern bathroom. The long lease (about 141 years remaining) removes near-term lease concerns and the property has been updated to a ready-to-move-in standard.
Practical costs are straightforward: a modest ground rent (£60) and an indicated service charge around £1,000 (confirmation recommended). Council tax is low.

Overall, this is a sensible, low-hassle entry property with parking and good transport and local amenities on the doorstep.
