Ground-floor studio flat tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on Melton Mowbray’s south side, offered with no upward chain. The compact layout combines lounge/bedroom, separate kitchen and shower room — a straightforward, low-maintenance home or rental unit with communal gardens, drying area and off-street parking.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing and electric heating, mains water and drainage, and a low council tax band. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and the property sits in an established residential area close to primary and secondary schools, local shops and bus links — convenient for everyday life or letting to local renters and students.
Important lease and financing note: 76 years remain on the lease. This is below many lenders’ preferred thresholds and may make mortgage approval difficult or require a specialist lender or a cash buyer. Ground rent is £66 per six months and the flat is sold leasehold.
The flat is presented as a basic, economical property that will suit a buyer who accepts modest space and some straightforward updating. There is no hot water supply to the kitchen and heating is by electric room heaters, so buyers should budget for any desired improvements or efficiency upgrades.
