A well-presented ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offering a practical layout and sensible running costs for a low purchase price. The open-plan living room with large windows and a fitted kitchen gives comfortable day-to-day living, while the master bedroom benefits from an en suite. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add convenience for residents.
This property sits in a development built around 1996–2002 with secure intercom entry and easy access to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, local shops and bus routes — practical for commuters or staff working nearby. Nearby schools include highly rated options for families and the area offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is by electric room heaters, the EPC is rated D, and service charge and ground rent apply (approx. £1,985 service charge; £125 ground rent). Crime levels and wider area deprivation are above average, and the property is leasehold with about 105 years remaining. These factors affect running costs and suitability for some purchasers.
At £80,000 the apartment represents an accessible entry point to the local market for investors or cash buyers seeking rental potential close to employment hubs. The straightforward finish and average size mean little immediate renovation is required, though upgrading heating and improving energy efficiency could reduce ongoing costs and improve appeal.
