This well-presented one-bedroom leasehold home sits on the ground floor of a 1930s mid-terrace building. Large windows and a bay create a bright living room with high ceilings; the double bedroom and compact kitchen provide straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation. An own section of garden and off-street parking are rare extras for this price band.
Practical running costs are reasonable: council tax band B and a small £30 ground rent. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated E, so prospective buyers should expect higher energy bills than modern gas-heated homes. The building has solid brick walls with no added insulation, which could be improved during refurbishment.
Important: the lease has about 81 years remaining. That remaining term may restrict mortgage options and will require early lease extension by the buyer or future cost for renewal. The property is offered chain free, making a quick move possible for a buyer prepared to address the lease situation.
Positioned in an affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and good transport links, this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an entry-level purchase with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, provided they accept the short lease and EPC limitations.
