This modern two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat occupies the 2nd floor of a purpose-built block in Three Bridges, around ¾ mile from the station for fast links to London, Gatwick and the coast. The apartment offers a bright sitting/dining room that opens to a private balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens, a U-shaped kitchen with built-in appliances and a larger master bedroom with en-suite. The 643 sq ft layout is practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance living.
The building was constructed between 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, lift access and residents’ off-street parking. The lease has 106 years remaining, EPC C, council tax described as affordable and predictable service charges and ground rent (service charge approx. £3,000pa; ground rent £250pa), which should be factored into running costs.
Notable downsides are straightforward: the property is leasehold, communal outdoor space only (no private garden), and the kitchen is compact. Local crime levels are reported as high for the area, which may concern some buyers. Broadband is average; mobile signal is excellent. Overall this is a sensible, low-upkeep home in a convenient location — well suited to first-time buyers wanting transport links, or investors looking for rental demand close to Three Bridges station.
