Set on a popular residential estate beside Cavendish Golf Club, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance, light-filled accommodation with far-reaching hill views. The open-plan living area benefits from underfloor heating, hardwood flooring and large windows that frame Corbar Cross and surrounding countryside. The property is offered with no onward chain and includes one allocated parking space and well-kept communal grounds.
Practical running costs are straightforward: a 109-year lease remains, ground rent is £100 per year and the maintenance charge is £80 per month (covers communal maintenance, gardening, window cleaning and buildings insurance). Heating is electric (room heaters and underfloor in the main living area), so buyers should note likely higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area.
Accommodation is sensible and efficiently arranged with an entrance hall, open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen, one bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom accessible from both hall and bedroom. The layout and communal setting make this a low-upkeep home or a rental opportunity in a very affluent locality close to Buxton town amenities and schools.
The apartment is well-presented but not new-build; the EPC is D and the seller is motivated. Buyers wanting countryside views, easy parking and a compact, move-in-ready home will find genuine appeal here. Those requiring fast broadband or prefer gas central heating should check service availability and running-cost estimates before proceeding.
