Compact ground-floor one-bed with courtyard access and no onward chain.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, 403 sq ft
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a gated courtyard development, offered with no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living room opens via French doors into a southwest-facing communal courtyard, bringing afternoon sun into the main living space. The property is double glazed and benefits from a modern fitted kitchen and an EPC rating of C.
Practical running costs include electric heaters and an electric shower; there is no gas central heating. The lease has about 133 years remaining and annual charges total roughly £1,661.14 service charge plus a £150 ground rent. Council tax is low (Band A), and a garage provides off-street parking.
Important considerations: the local area shows very high crime levels and significant deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or rental demand. The apartment is small (about 403 sq ft) and uses electric heating, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. Prospective buyers should factor service charges and ground rent into affordability calculations.
