Set on the second floor of a mid-20th-century block, this one-bedroom flat offers a bright, manageable home ideal for a single buyer or couple seeking low-entry ownership. The layout includes a good-sized lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and a double bedroom; large windows bring natural light and a feeling of space. With 138 years remaining on the lease and no upward chain, the flat is straightforward to purchase.
Running costs can be modest: Council Tax is band A and the ground rent is low at £15 pa. The service charge averages £1,203.12 annually and covers communal maintenance; buyers should factor this into their budget. Heating is by an electric boiler with radiators and glazing is double — practical but potentially costly compared with gas alternatives.
Practical considerations are clear and stated: the building is a communal scheme with a shared entrance and stair access, there is parking at the front, and broadband and mobile signals are reported strong. The area has a wide range of local amenities and several well-rated schools nearby, supporting everyday convenience and future resale appeal.
Notable negatives to consider: local crime levels are above average and the area is classified as relatively deprived, which may influence long-term demand. The building was constructed mid-century and walls are likely uninsulated cavity; buyers seeking maximum energy efficiency may want to budget for upgrades. A survey is recommended to confirm services and the condition of systems not tested.
