This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Four Oaks is offered with no upward chain and a very long lease, making it attractive to first-time buyers or investors. The layout includes a well-proportioned living room, kitchen with pantry and direct courtyard access, two double bedrooms, separate WC and bathroom — all ready for a thoughtful scheme of updating.
The property requires renovation, so it suits someone prepared to improve finishes and systems. Notable existing features include a garage, shared parking, double glazing installed before 2002 and electric underfloor heating. The building is mid-20th century brick construction with communal grounds and easy walking access to Sutton Park and local amenities in Mere Green.
