Light-filled and well-presented, this three-double-bedroom first-floor apartment sits directly overlooking Abbey Fields, offering an unusual mix of green outlooks and town-centre convenience. Built in 2017, the home features an open-plan living and dining area with an upgraded kitchen and central island, alongside four private balconies that bring outdoor space to everyday living. The master bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite; two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. The property comes with an allocated parking space and a long 992-year lease, sold chain-free for a straightforward purchase.
Suitable for families or first-time buyers seeking generous, modern accommodation close to schools and transport, the layout is practical for everyday life and entertaining. The apartment’s EPC B rating, mains gas central heating with radiators, and contemporary finishes reduce immediate running or refurbishment needs. Size is around 1,082 sq ft, giving comfortable room proportions and useful storage including a laundry/boiler cupboard.
Buyers should note the financial commitments attached: an unusually high ground rent at approximately £3,000 per year (noted as very expensive) alongside a service charge listed as £250 per year. Crime levels in the area are reported as high, which some buyers will want to consider when assessing local suitability. Overall, the long lease, allocated parking and no onward chain are strong positives that will suit those prioritising low-sale friction and a ready-to-live-in home.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the outlook over Abbey Fields, the multiple balconies, and the apartment’s light and flow. Conveyancers will need to confirm the exact ground rent and service charge terms as part of legal checks.
