A compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat in Waldegrave Close offering immediate move-in potential and a long lease. The apartment is bright with a 15'3" lounge/diner featuring full-height sliding doors that open onto a well-kept communal garden. Two allocated parking spaces are included — a rare convenience for this size of property. Its seaside position near Weston Shore, good transport links and nearby amenities make it appealing to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Practical running costs are mixed: council tax sits in Band A and ground rent is low, but the annual service charge is notable at £1,777.18. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and the property relies on mains services and double glazing; no tests on appliances have been carried out. The flat is offered chain-free with a 967-year lease and is pet-friendly with residents’ right to manage.
Internally the layout is simple and well maintained: fitted kitchen with a useful walk-in cupboard housing the hot water tank, a double bedroom, and a neutral three-piece bathroom. At about 338 sq ft, the accommodation is small but well laid out. Rental potential is indicated at approximately £900 pcm, which may interest investors.
Buyers should note the compact size and electric heating when assessing ongoing costs and comfort. The property’s location — a short walk to Woolston shops, train station and local schools — plus proximity to green spaces and the waterfront, gives it practical appeal for those who value convenience and easy access to outdoor amenities.
