Well-presented two-bed apartment with allocated parking and long lease — ideal first-time buy.
Bright open-plan living with private balcony
A bright, modern two-bedroom apartment in the Abbey Fields development, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-maintenance urban living. The open-plan kitchen/living room benefits from large windows and doors that open onto a private balcony, creating a light and practical social space. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room and there is a separate family bathroom plus useful hallway storage.
Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, an allocated off-street parking space and well-kept communal gardens. The property sits on a very long lease (989 years) with a modest ground rent (£150) and is offered with no onward chain, supporting a straightforward purchase.
Be aware of local drawbacks: the wider area records higher-than-average crime, and the balconies are small (suitable for a chair or two rather than full outdoor dining). Internally the rooms are average in size, so the layout suits buyers who prioritise low-maintenance, convenient town living over expansive room sizes.
This apartment is a practical, contemporary choice for a first home or buy-to-let: modern build quality, good natural light and secure long-lease tenure balance against modest external space and local crime levels. Viewing will show whether the compact balcony and room sizes meet your lifestyle needs.
