The apartment offers an open-plan lounge/kitchen with a Juliette balcony, neutral decor throughout and allocated off-street parking, making it a convenient choice for commuters or first-time buyers.
The lease is exceptionally long (approximately 978 years) and the property is sold chain-free; the current tenant will vacate to allow vacant possession in early August. Annual costs include a service charge of about £1,500 and ground rent of approximately £250. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators; buyers should consider likely running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
A material covenant on the lease requires sale at 10% under market value; the asking price reflects this reduction. Interested buyers should verify the covenant, service charge and ground rent details with their legal advisers. The building is modern, well-maintained and benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of B.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located two-bedroom flat offering commuter convenience and low visible maintenance. It suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home or investors looking for a long lease and straightforward management, subject to legal checks on the covenant.
