Set on the top floor of a modern block, this two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living for commuters and first-time buyers. The open-plan lounge/diner flows to a fitted kitchen; both bedrooms are well proportioned for daily living or a home office. Allocated off-street parking and secure entry add practical convenience.
The property totals about 589 sq ft and was constructed in the mid-2000s, with double glazing and gas central heating already in place. Local bus routes, major road links and nearby business parks make travel and work commutes easy. Several primary and secondary schools with good Ofsted ratings are within reach.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: this is a leasehold flat, broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and the neighbourhood records a very high crime level with significant area deprivation. The apartment is compact and best suited to buyers seeking an economical, well-located home rather than larger-family accommodation.
Priced at £145,000, the apartment represents a practical entry point to the property market or a potential buy-to-let opportunity for investors targeting commuter demand. Viewing is recommended to assess the apartment’s condition and suitability in person.
