This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Bower Court offers practical, comfortable living with long lease security and share of freehold. At about 704 sqft the layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a large reception room, two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen and bathroom, plus a separate WC. The block sits around substantial communal lawns and includes an en-bloc garage and off-street parking.
Built post-war with mid-century modern styling, the flat benefits from a modern gas boiler, gas central heating and double glazing. The communal grounds are maintained and the property is in a very affluent area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and access to well-regarded local primary and secondary schools — useful for downsizers who still value local amenities and connectivity.
Practical considerations: there is a residents’ restriction currently preventing lettings to anyone other than family, which affects rental potential and suitability for buy-to-let investors. Service charges are approximately £1,740 per year (about £145 pcm) covering grounds, window cleaning and buildings insurance. The local recorded crime level is high, so buyers should factor security and insurance costs into running expenses.
Overall, this is a low-maintenance, comfortably sized ground-floor flat with long leasehold security and private garage — a strong option for buyers seeking an easy-to-manage home near good schools and transport links, but less appropriate for investors seeking unrestricted letting or buyers seeking a fully secluded, low-crime location.
