This newly renovated ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Vela House offers straightforward, low-maintenance living for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan living room and modern kitchen with integrated appliances create a bright, usable space, while built-in wardrobes and an additional storage cupboard help maximise the 459 sq ft floor area.
Practical conveniences include allocated off-street parking, electric underfloor heating, double glazing and a very long lease (999 years from 2017, c.991 years remaining). Council tax is inexpensive and the property sits in an affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for remote working or letting.
Be clear about a few trade-offs: the home is electrically heated, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas heating. It is a ground-floor flat, so privacy and natural light are typical of lower-level apartments. The wider neighbourhood records average crime levels.
Nearby amenities and good local schools add appeal for buyers planning to live here or let the flat. Overall this is a compact, move-in-ready property that suits someone seeking a modern, low-upkeep starter home or a straightforward rental investment.
