This two-bedroom leasehold apartment in Parkland View is a compact, newly renovated home offering move-in ready accommodation at an entry-level price. At around 528 sq ft it suits first‑time buyers seeking a modern finish, allocated off‑street parking and easy access to local shops and rural walks. Interiors are bright with contemporary kitchen fittings, laminate and wood flooring, and double glazing installed post‑2002.
Practical running costs are favourable: council tax is very cheap and broadband speeds are fast. The building is relatively modern (constructed 2003–2006) and the flat benefits from mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The property is chain free, which can speed up purchase for buyers keen to move quickly.
Be aware of material downsides: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,020 per year and a small ground rent of £40. The immediate area is classified as deprived with above‑average crime rates, which may concern some buyers. The overall size is small, so the layout will suit those comfortable with a compact footprint rather than larger family living.
Local amenities include primary schools rated Good and convenient transport links; a nearby secondary has an Ofsted rating of Requires Improvement. This apartment will appeal most to first‑time buyers wanting an affordable, low‑maintenance starter home or investors looking for a straightforward let in a popular area.
