Bright, newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor flat in Smollett Place offers an attractive open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen that maximises natural light and feels larger than its footprint. Neutral decor, modern fittings, and recently installed double glazing provide a move-in ready home for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, loft storage, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a long lease of 102 years. The property is chain-free, so a swift exchange and completion are possible. Local amenities are close by — shops, cafes, supermarkets and good primary schools are all within easy reach.
Be aware of material running costs and area factors: the property is leasehold (service charge approx. £1,260 pa; ground rent £204 pa) and located in an area with higher recorded crime levels. Bedroom two is compact and the overall internal size is modest at about 689 sq ft, so this suits buyers seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home rather than large family living.
Overall this is a sensible, well-presented flat that suits a first-time buyer looking for a ready-to-move-in home, or an investor after a straightforward rental opportunity in a comfortable suburban location with strong local amenities.
