Ground-floor, one-bedroom flat with private entrance, small garden and allocated parking — an affordable entry into Bearwood. The layout is traditional and compact (approx. 373 sq ft) with a lounge/diner, separate kitchen, storage and a single bedroom. The property is chain-free and has a long lease (around 107 years) with a low ground rent (£37 p.a.).
The flat dates from the mid-century period and shows signs of age: dated décor, artexed ceilings and some fixtures marked as not tested. Heating is gas-fired with a Vaillant boiler and there is double glazing, though installation date is unknown. The exterior and interior will benefit from updating; this is a practical opportunity for an affordable first-time purchase or a simple refurbishment for rental income.
Practical positives include private outside space, an allocated off-street parking space, very low local crime and fast broadband potential. Bearwood Primary and several well-rated schools are nearby, plus regular bus links and local amenities. Buyers should confirm lease and service information with their solicitor and consider a survey to check boiler, electrics and any latent repair needs.
Overall, this is a compact, budget-friendly flat for a purchaser looking to personalise a ground-floor home or add a straightforward investment to their portfolio. Expect cosmetic and modernisation work rather than major structural overhaul.
