A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment arranged over approximately 581 sq ft in a modern block built c.2003–2006. The flat offers an open-plan lounge with bay window, a compact fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a separate bathroom — a practical layout for a small household or downsizer. Outside there are shared front lawns and an allocated off-street parking bay.
The property is leasehold with a long lease (approx. 980 years remaining), a service charge of about £1,692 per year (c.£141 pcm) and a modest ground rent of around £200 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building has double glazing. Council tax band B and no flood risk are positives for running costs and security.
This apartment is offered chain-free and sits in a convenient location for local shops, transport links (A66/A1(M) and Darlington station) and nearby good-rated schools. The communal-retirement classification and ageing urban community context make it especially suitable for downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance unit.
Notable concerns: electric room heating can be costly compared with gas systems and the property has a service charge and ground rent to factor into affordability. A public notice/repo history is recorded against the sale and should be reviewed by any prospective buyer or their solicitor before exchange.
