This two-bedroom first-floor flat in CV4 offers practical, low-cost city living with clear investment potential. The property includes double glazing, a modest balcony, and a functional kitchen and living room layout suitable for everyday life.
The building dates from the 1950–66 period and is a system-built mid-terrace block; walls are assumed uninsulated which may require thermal upgrades. The 83-year lease and leasehold tenure are typical for flats of this era—check lease terms and running costs carefully. Service charge is low at £90 per year; council tax is very cheap.
The surrounding area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels and hampered neighbourhood characteristics, so buyers should consider location and security needs. Transport links, local schools (several rated Good), and nearby amenities are strengths for commuters, small families, first-time buyers, or investors seeking lettable stock.
Overall, this is an affordable, average-sized flat with potential for modest refurbishment to improve insulation, energy efficiency, and rental or resale value. Clear positives include low holding costs and good broadband/mobile signal; notable drawbacks are the building’s construction type, local area deprivation, and limited lease length relative to new-build standards.
