A smart, top-floor two-bedroom apartment set in a modern mid-2000s development, ideal for a first-step buyer seeking low-maintenance living close to amenities and transport. The open-plan living/kitchen is bright, well-finished and ready to move into, with a private balcony and modern integrated kitchen appliances. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of B keep running costs reasonable.
Practical features include two bathrooms, allocated off-street parking and communal landscaped grounds. The freehold tenure is unusual and simplifies ownership compared with a leasehold flat. The apartment’s size (about 576 sq ft) suits those who prioritise location and contemporary finishes over expansive living space.
Buyers should note some important limitations: the flat is courtyard-facing with views over neighbouring blocks rather than open vistas, and the communal garden is small. The local area is recorded as having high levels of deprivation, and council tax is above average—both factors to consider for longer-term running costs and resale. Overall, this is a ready-to-live-in, low-upkeep two-bedroom that will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for a well-presented urban apartment.
