Light, modern and surprisingly spacious for its footprint, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in a low-rise mock-Tudor development on a quiet cul-de-sac in Bishopsgate, Blackpool. The open-plan living and dining room flows into a contemporary fitted kitchen, creating a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom complete the accommodation across about 57 sqm (614 sq ft).
The property is chain-free and offered with an exceptionally long lease (977 years remaining), a modest ground rent of £40 per year and an annual service charge of approximately £1,020 (£85 pcm). Off-street communal parking and secure intercom entry add convenience, while double glazing helps with insulation.
Be upfront about a few limitations: the apartment is electrically heated via storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas heating, and the local area records above-average crime rates. The overall size is compact, so buyers needing larger family space should note the footprint. Broadband speeds are average, and the wider area is classified as hampered aspiration with aspiring urban households nearby.
For buyers seeking an affordable entry into Blackpool’s housing market or investors seeking a low-maintenance leasehold asset, this apartment offers good value — low running ground rent, long lease, straightforward upkeep — but expect electric heating costs and to consider local amenity and safety factors.
