A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in the heart of High Wycombe, offered with no onward chain and sold fully furnished. The open-plan living/kitchen and double bedroom with built-in wardrobes make efficient use of the 35 sq.m (378 sq.ft) layout, suited to a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor.
Practical strengths include a long lease (116 years remaining), a secure under-croft parking bay, close walking distance to Wycombe train station and the Eden shopping centre, and the potential for around a 6% rental yield. The block is modern (built 2017), double-glazed, and has a video entry system.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is small, heated by electric room heaters which can mean higher running costs, and sits in an area recorded as having very high crime. Annual charges are also notable — service charge approximately £1,645 and ground rent £300 — and the EPC is band D. These factors affect running and holding costs for homeowners and investors.
Overall this is a practical, centrally located apartment that works well for first-time buyers seeking low-move-in friction and investors wanting an immediate, furnished rental opportunity. Viewings are recommended for those prioritising location, secure parking and long lease length, while accepting the compact size and higher operating costs.
