Chain-free one-bedroom flat with communal gardens and ample storage.
Chain free — immediate sale possible
A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment offered chain free, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low entry costs. The layout is efficient: lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, refitted three-piece bathroom and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Ample storage and a large built-in cupboard add practical space often missing in flats this size.
The building sits in a mid-20th-century brick block with communal gardens to front and rear, offering outdoor space without private garden maintenance. Practical utilities include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for working from home.
Be realistic about the compromises: the apartment is small at 427 sq ft, in a neighbourhood classed as deprived, and the property is leasehold with 95 years remaining. Some fittings (double glazing installed before 2002) and the 1967–1975 construction era suggest buyers should expect typical maintenance and possible future upgrades. Council tax is very low, and there is no flooding risk.
This home suits someone looking to buy their first property, downsize to something low-maintenance, or add a rental unit to a portfolio. It delivers immediate occupancy with minimal chain disruption and straightforward scope for modest cosmetic improvement to increase appeal or rental yield.
