New boiler and radiators installed in 2020
Replacement roof 2017; new glazing 2023

Cavity walls likely uninsulated — improvement opportunity
Local area flagged as very deprived, may affect resale timing
This first-floor, two-bedroom flat offers practical low-maintenance living with private outdoor space and off-street parking. Recent upgrades include a new boiler and radiators (2020), replacement roof (2017) and new glazing (2023), reducing immediate major expenditure and improving energy performance (EPC C).
The layout is traditional and neutrally decorated throughout, providing a blank canvas for cosmetic updating. The flat is an average-sized 625 sq ft with two double bedrooms, a reception room and a fitted kitchen — well suited to first-time buyers or couples seeking a manageable home close to transport links and local amenities.
The property is leasehold (long lease: 173 years remaining as of 2024) with a low service charge and modest ground rent; however, buyers should allow for leasehold-related admin costs such as conveyancing packs. The area scores as very deprived locally, which may affect resale timing and rental demand; conversely, crime is very low and public transport and digital connectivity are strong.
Practical points to note: cavity walls appear uninsulated (assumed) which could be addressed to improve comfort and running costs. Overall this flat represents a solid, relatively low-risk purchase with scope to add value through straightforward cosmetic improvements and insulation upgrades.
