Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, 638 sq ft
This bright, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment (638 sq ft) occupies a modern 2021 development in Allington, offering well-presented, contemporary living for a small family or professional couple. The open-plan lounge/diner is generous and designed for entertaining, while the fitted kitchen and en-suite to the principal bedroom add everyday convenience. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are included, and the property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical running costs are competitive: a below-average service charge of £250 pcm and mains gas central heating keep regular costs sensible. The 148-year lease provides long-term tenure security, though the property is leasehold and carries an annual ground rent of £1,200, which buyers should factor into long-term affordability. Council tax is moderate and there is no flooding risk.
Local amenities and schooling are a strong selling point — several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, alongside shops, playgrounds and leisure facilities. The flat’s neutral modern decor and recent construction mean little immediate maintenance is expected, but buyers should confirm fixtures, fittings and any warranty cover when instructing solicitors.
Ideally suited to families seeking proximity to schools and easy commuting, or downsizers wanting ground-floor convenience with modern finishes. The layout and condition make it move-in ready; however, prospective purchasers must verify tenure details and ongoing costs related to ground rent and service charge before committing.
