This ground-floor, purpose-built apartment offers a compact, low‑maintenance home close to Russells Hall Hospital and local amenities. Built in 2021, the flat benefits from UPVC double glazing, modern kitchen fittings and an efficient layout suited to a single occupant or couple.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen includes a built-in oven, ceramic hob and plumbing for a washing machine, while the shower room features a thermostatic shower and vanity unit. Electric low-tariff heaters and economy electric supply keep running costs straightforward; council tax band is very cheap and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Practical details: the property is leasehold (approx. 245 years remaining) with a small ground rent of £150. The block is approached by steps or a wheelchair ramp to an intercom-controlled communal entrance. The apartment’s small overall floorplate (approx. 388 sq ft) means limited space but easy upkeep.
Important considerations: the immediate area has high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. The property uses electric room heaters rather than central gas heating, which some buyers may prefer to change. Despite these factors, the apartment presents a ready-to-rent or move-in option with modern finishes and strong connectivity.
