A bright two-double-bedroom garden flat presented in turnkey condition, suited to a first-time buyer seeking character and outdoor space. The apartment sits in an Edwardian terrace with high ceilings, bay window and original period details, but has been updated with a modern kitchen and a recently replaced roof. The long new lease (149 years) and low ground rent provide ownership security.
The standout is the large private rear garden, lovingly maintained and directly accessible from the kitchen — a rare find for this type and price. The accommodation is compact (around 575 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional layout with a medium-sized living room, two double bedrooms and one bathroom, making efficient use of space for daily living.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is solid-brick construction (no known cavity insulation), heated by a gas boiler and radiators, and double glazed (install date unknown). It is in an area with good local transport, shops and a range of schools nearby, but the wider neighbourhood records higher levels of deprivation — crime level is average. Service charge is charged as-and-when, and the tenure is leasehold with 149 years remaining.
This flat will suit a buyer who values period character, outside space and a secure long lease, and who is comfortable with a modest overall footprint. It offers a clear move-in opportunity with scope to improve thermal performance and add value over time.
