This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Robinson Court offers a compact, ready-to-move-in home ideal for first-time buyers or those downsizing. Built in 2005 by Barratt Homes, the flat sits in a small private block and benefits from an allocated gated parking space, maintained communal grounds, and fast ultra-fast broadband.
The layout includes a cosy lounge, a kitchen with breakfast bar and appliance spaces, a king-size master bedroom with ensuite shower, a single second bedroom, and a main bathroom. The property is fully electric with storage heaters and double glazing throughout—simple to run but less efficient than gas heating and potentially more costly in winter.
Practical details are straightforward: a 134-year lease, annual service charge of approximately £1,664, and ground rent of £160 per year. The flat’s total floor area is about 491 sq ft—comfortable for a couple or single buyer but limited for larger households.
Location is a strong selling point: Chilwell offers good local amenities, nearby retail parks, frequent tram and train links to Nottingham, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Be aware the area’s recorded crime level here is higher than average; purchasers should factor this into their decision and consider security measures.
Overall, this is a low-maintenance, well-located starter home with long lease security and parking. It suits buyers who prioritise transport links, broadband and easy upkeep, but buyers sensitive to running costs, limited living space, or local crime statistics should weigh those factors carefully.
