This chain‑free, ground‑floor two‑bedroom garden flat offers almost 600 sq ft of well‑lit living space and direct private outdoor access — a rare find for first‑time buyers or small families seeking outdoor amenity without a house. The layout is straightforward: a bright reception room, two double bedrooms, separate kitchen, bathroom and WC, and a manageable garden for plants and weekend relaxation.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and a long lease of about 97 years. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal excellent, which supports home working and streaming. The flat sits close to shops, parkland, several Ofsted 'Good' schools and regular bus routes (including the 292), making daily life and commutes convenient.
Notable downsides are factual and important: the neighbourhood records higher crime rates and the wider area is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental appeal. The building dates from the mid‑20th century with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation — further insulation or efficiency upgrades may be needed. Service charges are shown at approximately £1,250 pa and ground rent currently £10 pa (subject to increase).
Overall the property suits a buyer looking for an affordable, low‑maintenance entry into homeownership with scope to add value through targeted cosmetic or energy‑efficiency improvements. Investors should note the service charge and local socio‑economic factors when assessing yields.
