- Spacious double bedroom and separate kitchen/diner

This bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers unusually generous living space for its type, with high ceilings, a large bay window and many original Edwardian features that give strong character. The lounge flows into a kitchen/diner, and the property benefits from a modern bathroom and allocated off-street parking to the rear.
The flat is well presented and ready to occupy for first-time buyers seeking a roomy, characterful home close to transport links. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools sit within easy reach. The property is large for a one-bedroom (approx. 1,174 sq ft) and enjoys good natural light throughout.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with about 115 years remaining, a service charge of £300 (below average) and a small ground rent of £250. The building was constructed in the early 20th century with cavity walls likely uninsulated and double glazing installed before 2002, which may affect heating efficiency. Local area indicators show higher deprivation and average crime levels; purchasers should weigh local context against the flat’s size and parking benefit.
A straightforward choice for a first-time buyer who values space and period character, but advisable to commission a survey and utility/service checks to confirm heating, insulation and appliance condition before committing.
