Bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the second floor, suited to first-time buyers seeking affordable entry or investors seeking a lettable unit. The open-plan kitchen/living area has contemporary fittings, a compact layout and good natural light from a large window. An allocated off-street parking space and quick walking access to the town centre and station add everyday convenience.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease with 116 years remaining and shared ownership availability make this property accessible for buyers with smaller deposits. Service charge is approximately £153.34 pcm (circa £1,840.08 annually) and Council Tax Band B is low. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home.
Be realistic about running costs and location factors. The EPC is D, so energy bills may be higher than more efficient homes. The immediate area has higher-than-average crime statistics and sits within a deprived classification, which may affect resale value and rental demand in parts. The flat is an average-sized 493 sq ft; buyers wanting more space or a top-floor view should note the modest footprint and second-floor position.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located apartment for a first-time buyer using shared ownership or an investor seeking a straightforward buy-to-let. Inspect to confirm condition and running costs, and factor in the communal service charge and local area characteristics when comparing options.
