Ideal starter home close to shops and transport links.
Freehold ground-floor flat with three bedrooms and two bathrooms
This ground-floor, three-bedroom flat sits within a modern purpose-built block and offers move-in-ready accommodation for a first home or buy-to-let. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen benefits from good natural light and integrated appliances, while the principal bedroom includes an en-suite and built-in wardrobe. The communal grounds are landscaped and the development provides ample unallocated residents’ parking.
Practical running costs are clear: gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC B rating support energy efficiency. Communal maintenance and buildings insurance are managed externally, with an average service charge of about £1,200 per year (circa £300–£350 quarterly), which should be factored into budgeting alongside Council Tax Band D.
Important considerations: the flat is modest in overall size at approximately 806 sq ft, and parking is unallocated rather than private. The property sits in an area with higher levels of deprivation, which can affect resale values and local amenities. These factors are balanced by good transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal, making the home practical for commuters and remote workers.
Overall this property will suit buyers looking for an affordable, low-maintenance starter home or an investor seeking a rentable modern flat with garden outlook and communal parking. The accommodation is presented in good condition but offers limited internal space compared with larger family homes.
