This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Finch Close offers an affordable, low-maintenance home with a very long lease and allocated off-street parking. At about 485 sq ft the layout is compact and practical for a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking straightforward rental potential.
The accommodation benefits from double glazing, well-presented communal grounds and a below-average annual service charge of approximately £700. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property was constructed in the 1980s with timber-frame walls and added insulation — straightforward maintenance but upgrade potential exists for a new owner wanting central heating or modern finishes.
Local amenities are close by with good bus links, fast broadband and a mix of schools nearby, including several rated Good. Note the setting is in a more deprived area of the city, with average crime levels; buyers should weigh location against the price and long leasehold security.
Overall this is a small, well-kept flat priced competitively for its size and tenure. It will suit those seeking an economical entry on to the market or a low-effort rental purchase; some cosmetic or heating upgrades would add value and comfort.
