Local area: high crime and very deprived — affects demand
This top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, efficient layout ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan living/kitchen opens to a private balcony, bringing natural light and outdoor space to the principal reception. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and there is a second bedroom plus a separate bathroom — accommodation arranged all on one floor for convenience.
Set in a well-presented development with resident parking and pleasant communal gardens, the flat is offered chain-free with immediate vacant possession. Practical details include a long lease (about 101 years remaining) and a low annual ground rent of £55. The building is relatively modern (built c.1996–2002) and has double glazing.
Be aware of a few important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating, and the property is leasehold so service charges and future ground rent reviews should be checked with your solicitor. The local area scores high for crime and has significant deprivation, which may affect resale and rental demand.
Overall, this is an affordable entry-level two-bedroom apartment with immediate availability, on-site parking and outside space — a sensible buy for someone seeking a compact home or a straightforward buy-to-let, provided you factor in running costs and local area considerations.
