A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupancy. The flat delivers an open lounge with Juliet balcony, a practical kitchen with built-in oven, and generous storage including two hall cupboards and loft access. Allocated off-street parking, communal gardens and bike/enclosed storage add useful outside space for everyday needs.
This leasehold property has approximately 118 years remaining and an EPC rating of C. Annual service charge and ground rent combine to about £1,691.90, and council tax sits in Band A (very low). Heating is gas-fired via a Worcester boiler and double glazing was installed after 2002.
Practical buyers — particularly first-time purchasers or downsizers — will appreciate the manageable floor area (approx. 67 sqm / 721 sq ft), secure intercom entry and parking. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and construction details indicate cavity walls (assumed uninsulated), so there is scope to improve thermal efficiency over time.
Notable concerns are clear and factual: the area records very high crime levels and the wider neighbourhood is relatively deprived. The flat is accessed by stairs (no lift), and the service charge is a recurring cost to factor into monthly outgoings. Buyers should check the head lease and confirm service arrangements before committing.
