Bright, well-presented first-floor flat with parking and long lease.
Chain free one-bedroom flat, 660 sq ft
This chain-free one-bedroom flat offers a spacious feel with 660 sq ft of well-presented accommodation. The large living room and modern kitchen create an open, comfortable layout suited to a single person or couple. Allocated off-street parking is a practical benefit in this built-up area.
The flat sits on a long lease (104 years remaining) with an average service charge of £1,400 and a ground rent of £250 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel — buyers should consider running costs and seek service checks before purchase.
The building was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and is double glazed; interiors are presented in good decorative order. Nearby amenities include schools, shops and public transport links; broadband and mobile signal are strong. Note the local area is classed as deprived and recorded crime is above average, which may influence some buyers' choices.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-move-in flat with buy-to-let potential or a practical first home. The long lease and allocated parking are clear positives, while service charges, electric heating and local crime levels are important factual considerations to weigh up.
