An immaculate first-floor flat with two double bedrooms and a private entrance, finished to a modern standard and offering lovely open views over New Mills. The living room is bright and slightly larger than the other rooms, while the compact contemporary kitchen and bathroom are clean and functional — ideal for a first home or downsizer who wants a move-in-ready property.
Practical details work in the buyer’s favour: a very long lease (circa 950 years), low ground rent (£10) and a below-average service charge (£179). Council tax is described as very cheap, and the property is on a main bus route with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuting or working from home.
There are some trade-offs to note. The flat is small at about 448 sq ft and built in the late 1960s/early 1970s; the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so improving thermal efficiency may be desirable. The wider area is a transitional, ageing urban community with higher deprivation indicators and average crime levels, which should be considered alongside the property’s positives.
Overall, this property is best suited to a first-time buyer, someone looking to downsize, or an investor after a compact, well-presented flat in a convenient location. The low running costs and long lease make it straightforward to own, while modest improvement work (insulation/glazing updates) could enhance comfort and long-term value.
