The compact 676 sq ft layout is efficiently planned with an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, built-in storage and double doors onto a small rear garden. Off-street parking for one car and an EPC rating of B add practical appeal.
Buyers should note the shared-ownership costs: at a 50% share the current rent is £415.80 per month payable to Heylo Housing, and a service charge of £125 every six months (c.£250pa). The property is leasehold with around 121 years remaining; purchasers must confirm lease details and recurring charges with their solicitor. The neighbourhood records above-average crime levels, which prospective purchasers may wish to consider alongside local amenities and transport.
The house is modern-finish throughout, gas-heated with mains gas boiler and double glazing, so immediate major works are unlikely. The compact plot and modest internal area limit extension potential; the home is best suited to those seeking an economical, low-upkeep home or a rental investment. Figures and charges are subject to change; buyers should verify with their legal adviser.
