Affordable first-step purchase with private parking and communal gardens.
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment, priced £85,000
A compact, affordable two-bedroom apartment offered chain-free on Windermere Road. Priced at £85,000, the property suits a first-time buyer seeking an entry into the market or a buy-to-let purchaser wanting an immediately habitable unit. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room has double doors to a Juliet balcony, bringing light into the living space. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room; a second bedroom and family bathroom complete the layout.
Practical features include private residents’ parking, communal gardens and 106 years remaining on the lease. Fitted kitchen units, an inset sink, oven and hob are in place and there is plumbing for a washing machine. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs relatively low.
Important facts and potential drawbacks: the apartment is small at about 393 sq ft, so living space is limited. The local area scores as very deprived and is classified as hampered aspiration, which may affect long-term capital growth. The sale details note that mains services, heating systems and appliances have not been tested, so a purchaser should commission their own checks and a survey. Broadband speeds are average.
This is a straightforward, no-chain purchase for someone prioritising affordability and low entry cost. It works well for those willing to accept compact living in exchange for a modest purchase price, or investors seeking a low-cost let in a major conurbation location. Verify services and consider cosmetic updating to personalise the space or improve rental appeal.
