This first-floor apartment provides compact, practical living across 554 sq ft with two double bedrooms and an en suite to the master. The home is modern-built with double glazing and gas central heating, and includes an allocated space in a secure gated car park — a real convenience for commuters.
The lease extends to around 102 years and the property is offered as leasehold. Service charges average £1,500 per year; council tax is described as low. Local transport links are strong and everyday amenities, healthcare and schools are within easy reach, making the location well-suited to first-time buyers needing straightforward access to work and services.
Buyers should note the wider area has high crime statistics and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale values and perceptions. The apartment is compact and will suit those wanting a low-maintenance starter home rather than larger family accommodation. Overall, this is a practical entry-level purchase with secure parking and long lease length, balanced against local area challenges and annual service costs.
