This well-presented first-floor two-bedroom flat offers practical living space and sensible running costs in a modern 1990s block. The accommodation includes a lounge, generous kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a shower room, with double glazing and gas central heating providing year-round comfort. With 786 sq ft of floor area the layout suits a couple, small family or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate rental potential.
The building sits within communal gardens and benefits from off-street parking and a communal entrance. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good, and the flat has an EPC rating of B. Fixtures include an integrated gas hob and oven, boiler and built-in storage cupboards in both bedrooms, helping reduce immediate outlay for a buyer.
Buyers should note several important considerations: the property is leasehold with approximately 83 years remaining on the lease, which will require early attention and likely a lease extension for mortgageability and long-term value. The annual service charge is about £2,328 and ground rent is minimal, which affects ongoing costs. The area records higher crime levels and pockets of deprivation; buyers should weigh local amenity and safety factors alongside the price.
Overall this is a practical, well-kept flat priced attractively at £140,000. It will suit first-time buyers comfortable addressing lease length or investors prepared to manage lease-extension costs. Viewings will show a neat, move-in-ready interior with realistic potential for minor cosmetic updating to increase value.
