This compact one-bedroom apartment on Elm Road offers a straightforward, low-hassle purchase with no chain and a share of freehold. Recently refurbished throughout, the flat presents a ready-to-rent or move-in option for investors or a single occupant seeking town-centre convenience. Allocated off-street parking and a very long lease (232 years) are notable ownership strengths.
The layout is efficient: an open-plan sitting room/kitchen maximises usable space within the 466 sq ft footprint, and the bedroom benefits from a bay window providing natural light. Service charge and ground rent are modest, and there are incentives available for qualifying buyers — useful if financing purchase costs or improving yield.
Practical considerations are set out plainly. The property sits in the busy town centre with little or no private outdoor space and urban, high-street views. Heating details are inconsistent in the listing (gas central heating is mentioned, but records list electric room heaters as the main heating); buyers should verify the heating system and running costs. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may affect tenant demand and insurance premiums.
Overall this is a compact, newly renovated flat that suits buy-to-let investors or a single purchaser wanting immediate town-centre access and convenient transport links. It offers low short-term maintenance and long-term security through the long lease and share of freehold, though buyers should confirm heating arrangements and consider local safety factors when assessing rental prospects.
