2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable post-war flat with garage — ideal for cash buyers or renovators.
Two-bedroom second-floor flat with dual-aspect living room
Garage en-block included for parking or storage
56 years remaining on lease — likely unsuitable for most mortgages
Best suited to cash buyers or someone planning a lease extension
Service charge £960 per year; very low council tax
Built late 1960s; typical post-war construction and finishes
Area has above-average crime and high local deprivation
Close to shops, schools, bus and rail links
This second-floor, two-bedroom flat offers straightforward living in a 1960s purpose-built block close to local shops, schools and both road and rail links. The apartment includes a generous dual-aspect living room, a practical kitchen and a shower room; a garage en-bloc is included for secure parking or storage. The property is vacant with no onward chain, so a quick completion is possible.
The lease has 56 years remaining. That length will make mortgage lending difficult or impossible for many buyers, so the property is best suited to cash purchasers or a buyer prepared to refinance after extending the lease. There is a below-average annual service charge of £960 and a very low council tax band, which help running costs.
Built in the late 1960s and sitting in a densely populated urban neighbourhood, the flat shows typical features of its era: double glazing, average ceiling heights and cavity-built brick walls. The area faces higher-than-average crime levels and broader signs of deprivation; buyers should view the wider neighbourhood and consider security and resale implications.
For an investor or a cash buyer seeking a straightforward, let-ready unit or a renovation project, this flat represents an affordable entry with immediate rental or refurbishment potential. Early inspection is recommended to assess condition, heating system and the scope and cost of any required works or lease extension.
