This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Millbrook offers straightforward access, private off-street parking and a small garden — useful extras for a property of this size. With no upper chain and a very long lease (971 years), the ownership position is clear and secure. The building dates from the early 1990s and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002).
At about 563 sq ft the accommodation is compact: a lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. The layout suits a first-time buyer wanting a manageable, low-maintenance home or an investor seeking a simple buy-to-let with reasonable rental appeal close to local amenities and transport links. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong in the area.
Buyers should be aware this home is being sold via online auction and sits in an area with high crime rates and significant local deprivation. The flat is leasehold and will be sold at auction — viewers and bidders should factor auction fees, purchase timescales and immediate safety/security measures into their plans. Cosmetic updating may be required to match modern tastes.
Overall this is a budget-priced entry property with clear positives (parking, garden, long lease, no chain) and straightforward constraints (small size, local area issues, auction sale). It will suit someone prepared to move quickly at auction or undertake modest improvements to maximise rental or resale value.
