This third-floor apartment (fourth floor by UK counting) in Anstey House is a compact three-bedroom flat offering clear investment potential in Norton’s village-like setting. It is chain-free and includes an allocated garage and communal gardens, making it straightforward to own and rent. The location is strong — a short walk to Norton High Street, the village green and local schools — supporting steady tenant demand.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: cosmetic refurbishment, updating of the kitchen/bathroom and potential heating improvements (currently electric storage radiators). The flat benefits from double glazing and a flexible open-plan living area, but overall condition will need budget and planning before re-letting or resale.
A significant practical consideration is the remaining lease term of 78 years. This may limit mortgage availability and affect resale price; some lenders refuse to lend on shorter leases. Prospective purchasers should seek specialist lease advice and confirm mortgageability before committing.
For a buyer prepared to invest time and money, the apartment offers scope to add value through refurbishment, reconfiguration and modern heating. The low council tax band and local amenities add appeal for cost-conscious tenants or owner-occupiers looking for a project in a well-connected part of Norton.
