Set on the popular Ravenswood development, this top-floor apartment offers compact, well-presented accommodation ideal for a first purchase or rental. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen opens via French doors to a small balcony, and an allocated off-street parking space is included. With 105 years remaining on the lease and sold chain-free, the purchase process should be straightforward.
Practical aspects are clear: double glazing, an intercom entry system and good road links to the A14/A12 make daily life easy. The block was built in the 2003–2006 period and benefits from communal landscaping and nearby green space and local amenities within walking distance.
Buyers should note material facts: the flat is small (425 sq ft) with electric storage heating and main fuel is electricity, broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and the local recorded crime level is high. The property is leasehold, so ongoing service charges/ground rent should be checked prior to offer.
Overall this is a sensible, low-maintenance option for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a straightforward, chain-free purchase with decent transport links and guaranteed parking, provided the compact size and heating/broadband constraints suit your needs.
