Newly refreshed 1-bed flat near train station — ideal starter home or rental.
Newly redecorated one-bedroom apartment, 420 sq ft
A compact, newly redecorated one-bedroom apartment in a modern purpose-built block, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The flat offers a lounge/diner with archway to a fitted kitchen, one double bedroom and a family bathroom — all arranged within a 420 sq ft footprint. Double glazing, mains gas central heating and an allocated off-street parking space add practical value.
The location is a strong selling point: within walking distance of the local train station and public transport links, with excellent mobile signal and easy access to nearby amenities. Service charge and ground rent are modest for the type (service charge c. £900, ground rent £20) and the lease has about 103 years remaining. Council tax is very cheap.
Important: this property is being sold by Modern Auction. A non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus auction pack fees (up to £349) and buyer’s fees apply. The sale is subject to an undisclosed reserve and completion terms (usually 56 days), so buyers should complete their own due diligence and confirm exact costs before bidding.
For buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home or an easily managed rental, this flat offers sensible running costs and good local connections. Note the flat is small and in an area with above-average crime statistics, so consider security and insurance implications if purchasing as a landlord or occupier.
