Chain-free modern apartment with gated parking and a very long lease — ideal first home.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom apartment
A ground-floor, chain-free one-bedroom apartment set within a modern development on Ascote Lane, offering a straightforward move-in for first-time buyers or professionals. The apartment is bright and practical, with an open-plan kitchen/living area, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a large bathroom with a window, and a generous hallway storage cupboard.
Practical positives include private allocated gated parking, fitted blinds throughout and a very long lease (978 years). The property sits in a quiet, low-crime area close to Dickens Heath’s shops, restaurants, community facilities and several well-rated schools — ideal for someone seeking convenience and local amenities.
Be aware of the running costs and services: an average annual service charge of around £2,000 and ground rent of £240 are payable (both paid to Dec 2025), heating is by electric room heaters, and the apartment has an EPC rating of D. Broadband in the immediate area is reported slow. These are important factors for budgeting and longer-term comfort.
Overall, this compact, well-presented apartment offers low-entry ownership with secure parking and an exceptionally long lease, but buyers should factor in service charges, electric heating and broadband limitations when assessing suitability.
