This top-floor two-bedroom flat offers a straightforward, low-maintenance entry into homeownership. The large dual-aspect lounge-diner, modern kitchen and bathroom provide ready-to-live-in accommodation for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking minimal immediate work.
Practical features include lift access to all floors, allocated off-street parking and double glazing. The 94-year lease provides long-term security, and the property’s compact footprint (around 821 sq ft) keeps running costs manageable, with council tax described as cheap.
Buyers should note a higher-than-average service charge (about £2,088 per year) and electric storage heating, which can raise energy bills compared with gas-heated homes. The building sits in an area with higher crime rates and marked local deprivation, which may affect resale or rental demand. Broadband speeds are average, and flood risk is low.
Overall this property suits someone seeking an affordable, ready-made two-bedroom flat in a central location. It offers convenience, modern fixtures and parking, but comes with leasehold costs, ongoing service charges and local-area challenges that buyers should weigh before viewing.
