This two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers generous room proportions for its 639 sq ft, with a large entrance hall, spacious sitting/dining room and fitted kitchen. PVCu double glazing and well-kept communal gardens give practical low-maintenance appeal. Broadband is reported fast and the property is chain free, making it straightforward to purchase if financing is in place.
The layout suits a first-time buyer, professional couple or small family seeking roomy living within an established 1967–75 block. Local amenities include buses, a playground and nearby primary schools rated Good; Altrincham and Timperley village are within easy reach. Council Tax is low (Band A) and service charges are modest at £32.52pcm.
Important caution: the lease term is problematic for mortgage lenders. Notes vary between 58 and 86 years remaining; if only 58 years remain lenders will likely refuse standard mortgages. Purchasers must verify the exact lease length and seek mortgage and legal advice before committing. The property is sold on a leasehold basis.
Cosmetically the flat is dated in places and there are signs of plaster cracks and potential damp on a wall noted in descriptions. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, so running costs may be higher. These factors point to refurbishment and possible remedial work being needed to modernise and improve energy efficiency.
