This purpose-built, modern two-bedroom flat is listed as a ground-floor apartment with the advantage of a long lease (approx. 102 years) and a private balcony accessed from the living room. The living room’s fireplace provides a focal point and the open kitchen/dining area offers a practical, contemporary space for everyday living and entertaining. Both bedrooms are doubles; the main bedroom benefits from an ensuite and there is a separate modern family bathroom.
Practical running costs are straightforward: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, a moderate council tax band, and service charges (averaging £1,652) plus a small ground rent (£100). Off-street allocated parking and communal landscaped beds keep external maintenance low, making the flat suitable for buyers seeking low-upkeep living or a lettable investment.
Location is a genuine selling point for commuters and local buyers alike. The property is within walking distance of Blake Street railway station and close to local shops, schools (including top-ranked grammar and well-rated primaries), and Mere Green/Clarence Road amenities. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as strong, and crime and flood risk are low.
Notable considerations: the tenure is leasehold so ongoing service charge and ground rent payments apply; prospective buyers should confirm service charge inclusions and any planned communal works. The development offers communal rather than private outdoor space, and parking is allocated rather than a private driveway. Confirm exact flat level and communal arrangements at viewing, as some descriptions reference different floor positions.
