A practical top-floor single-room apartment offered at an entry-level price, suited to a buyer seeking an affordable foothold in Trimley St Martin. The layout is compact with a combined lounge/bedroom, separate small kitchen, lobby with storage and a shower room. The building has UPVC double glazing and a shared rear garden with one allocated off-street parking space. Council tax is low (Band A), which helps keep running costs down.
Important practical drawbacks are clear: the lease has 76 years remaining and this may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering standard finance. Heating is electric with wall-mounted heaters and there is no central heating; broadband speed is reported slow. The communal service charge is billed as needed and the small annual ground rent is £60.
For a first-time buyer prepared to purchase with a cash deposit or an investor comfortable with lease-length constraints, the flat represents a low-price entry or a refurbishment project to increase rental or resale value. The property dates from the late-20th century and shows some cosmetic wear (dated flooring and minor hallway blemishes) but no flood risk and average local crime levels.
Buyers should obtain independent legal and mortgage advice about the lease length and confirm lender acceptability before committing. The combination of low asking price, allocated parking and proximity to local schools and amenities will suit buyers targeting convenience over space.
