This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a practical entry into homeownership or a straightforward rental investment. The flat includes a private garden, allocated off-street parking and sits within a secure three-storey block close to local shops, bus links and amenities.
The living space and bedroom are of average size and the property will benefit from modernization — the block’s Brutalist concrete finish and communal areas show age and will require ongoing maintenance. The building dates from 1967–1975; walls are cavity-built with no confirmed added insulation, so further thermal improvements may be needed.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or investors: 97 years remaining on the lease, a guide price of £145,000, and an annual service charge of approximately £1,221. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent; there is no recorded flood risk. Local schools and everyday services are within easy reach, though area classifications indicate hampered aspiration and average crime levels.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, chain-free purchase with clear potential after cosmetic updating. Buyers should factor in service charges, remaining lease term and likely communal maintenance when budgeting.
