This compact studio apartment in Chiltern Court is a practical, low-maintenance option for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The flat is well presented with a modern fitted kitchen, neutral decor and an efficient open-plan layout that maximises the 393 sq ft footprint. A new roof (2024) and a healthy reserve fund reduce short-term exterior maintenance risk.
Practical running costs are straightforward: EPC C, council tax band C, and modest ground rent (£150 pa). Heating is by electric room heaters, so buyers should budget for higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The building benefits from a Right to Manage arrangement and secure off-street parking with barrier protection.
Material considerations: the property is leasehold with approximately 87 years remaining on the lease — buyers should seek specialist legal advice about lease length and future mortgageability. The flat is small with limited storage and no private outdoor space, so it suits single occupancy or rental use rather than family living. The local area is an inner-city, deprived ward with above-average crime statistics; however transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support urban living and rental demand.
Overall this is a well-kept, modern studio with clear appeal for someone seeking a compact city base or a straightforward rental asset, provided lease and running-cost implications are acceptable.
