This newly refurbished one-bedroom first-floor flat in Woodhall Farm offers a clean, move-in-ready home for a first-time buyer or single occupant. At 496 sq ft the layout is compact but practical, centred on a long 17'1 living room that floods the space with light from a double-glazed window. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and in excellent condition following a full refurbishment.
The flat sits in a tidy mid-20th-century block with well-kept communal lawns and mature trees. It benefits from easy access to local amenities, frequent bus services, and major road links (M1 and M25). Nearby primary and secondary schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding option.
Practical details suit buyers wanting certainty: a 137-year lease, peppercorn-style ground rent (£35), no upper chain, and a service charge around £1,700 per year. The seller will pay stamp duty for buyers purchasing as a main residence (terms apply).
Buyers should note the property uses electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which can mean higher running costs. The block was constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so there may be future opportunities or costs to improve thermal performance. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average, which some purchasers will want to investigate further.
