This hall-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a Victorian terrace on Ashford Road, offering a compact, practical layout and good natural light from large windows. The accommodation includes a living room, fitted kitchen with appliances, a double bedroom and a modern shower room — an efficient home for a first purchase or a straightforward buy-to-let.
Significant positives include a very long lease (approx. 953 years), share of freehold ownership, low service charge (£540) and a C EPC. The property is metres from local shops, frequent transport links and green spaces, making it convenient for students, professionals or commuters.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the wider area records very high crime and very high deprivation levels. The building has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation and the heating is electric storage heaters, which can be costly to run. There is no private garden or obvious parking provision, and the flat is accessed via shared entrance steps.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, centrally located one-bedroom with scope for cosmetic updating and rental potential, best suited to first-time buyers seeking a low-entry purchase or investors targeting strong rental demand. The location and long lease are strengths; budget for heating and potential insulation work when viewing.
