A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat offering low-maintenance living with private parking and a single garage. The apartment is chain-free and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a private rear garden section — practical features that suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate occupancy or straightforward rental income.
Internally the layout is efficient: an open-plan lounge and kitchen with a bay window provides natural light, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The accommodation is compact (approx. 573 sq ft) and presented in neutral decor, so minimal cosmetic work is needed for move-in, though updating the kitchen or bathroom would add value and modern appeal.
Lease terms are favourable for long-term ownership — the lease has around 947 years remaining and a low annual ground rent of £30. There is no formal service charge; maintenance and insurance are managed informally between four flats, so buyers should clarify arrangements and responsibilities with their solicitor before exchange.
Location is convenient for local shops, schools and transport links, but the area shows higher crime and deprivation indicators. The property’s modest footprint and small communal plot mean it’s best suited to single occupants, couples, or investors rather than buyers needing larger family space.
