This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Haven Gardens offers a newly refreshed, practical home ideal for first-time buyers or investors. The layout makes efficient use of 613 sq ft with a bright lounge overlooking the bowling green and a modern kitchen/diner. Allocated parking and communal grounds add everyday convenience.
The building benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC C rating. The current owner has recently refurbished the flat, so many finishes are up to date; the long lease (circa 978–999 years) and straightforward service arrangements are strong ownership positives.
Notable drawbacks are the small overall size and the location context: the wider area shows higher crime levels and significant deprivation, which may affect resale or rental demand. Service charges (about £1,980 pa) and leasehold tenure should be considered when budgeting. Viewing is advised to judge space and local surroundings in person.
