This one-bedroom apartment on Clayton Road offers practical city living with a private balcony and lift access. At 478 sq ft the flat suits a first-time buyer seeking manageable space close to transport, shops and local amenities. The long lease provides ownership security.
The apartment is in a modern block with double-glazed sliding doors to the balcony and an urban view. Heating is by electric room heaters, and the building’s electricity supply is the main fuel source — expect higher running costs than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area, which may affect home working or streaming.
Service charge and ground rent are notable: an average service charge of £2,500 per year and ground rent of £250. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flood risk. Local schools and frequent transport links make the location practical for young families and first-time buyers.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase with good local amenities and a private balcony. Buyers should budget for electricity heating costs, limited broadband performance and the ongoing service charge when assessing value.
