Affordable entry in well-connected Cottam with allocated parking and modern kitchen.
Chain-free ground-floor apartment with open-plan living
A chain-free ground-floor apartment offering a practical, well-laid-out space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan lounge and modern fitted kitchen create a light, usable living area, while two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom complete the accommodation. An allocated off-street parking space adds convenience in this comfortable Cottam suburb with good local shops and transport links.
Buyers should note important lease and lending considerations. The listing flags around 80 years remaining on the lease; many mortgage lenders apply strict limits and could refuse standard lending until the lease is extended. Service charge and ground rent are payable (approximately £1,620 per year service charge and £100 ground rent), so factor ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
Heating is electric with room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can mean higher running costs. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and the area records higher crime rates, so check connectivity and local safety statistics if these are priorities. The building is modern and double glazed, with standard finishes throughout, making it largely ready to occupy but offering limited scope for major improvement without lease extension work.
Overall this is an affordable, move-in-friendly property in a pleasant suburban setting suitable for buyers wanting a straightforward first home or a lettable asset — provided they investigate lease length, lending options and ongoing service charges before committing.
