Bright, compact and low‑maintenance, this two-bedroom flat offers a straightforward move-in option with immediate access to town and rail. The open-plan living area and modern fitted kitchen make efficient use of the 486 sq ft layout, while two double bedrooms provide flexible space for a first home, commuter base or rental let.
Practical details support the purchase: a 125-year lease from completion, modest ground rent (£50 p.a.) and a below-average service charge (around £250–£300 p.a.). There is permission to park one car in the nearby car park and a small paved outdoor area directly outside the front door for pot plants or morning coffee.
Buyers should note the property relies on electric heating (room heaters) and has an Energy Performance Rating of E. The block was built circa 1976–82 and has uPVC double glazing; walls are cavity with partial insulation (assumed). Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, which may affect suitability for some buyers or lettings.
With no onward chain and fast broadband and mobile signal, this flat suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable town-centre location, buy-to-let investors looking for a low‑maintenance asset, or anyone wanting a compact home close to transport links. Council tax is very low, and the flat's size and layout make it a practical, manageable purchase.
