This newly renovated two-bedroom apartment occupies a converted Victorian building on Skinner Lane, offering period character with high ceilings, arched windows and exposed red brick details. The interior has been updated throughout so the property is genuinely ready to move into, with a lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen and a single family bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and a landscaped entrance add practical convenience.
The flat is offered as a leasehold with 94 years remaining. Annual service charges are around £1,200 and ground rent is £25 — important ongoing costs for budget planning. The property sits in an area with high crime rates and marked deprivation; buyers should weigh local safety and long-term area prospects alongside the price and condition of the home.
This is a realistic starter home or buy-to-let opportunity priced at £125,000. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting a move-in ready home with Victorian character or an investor seeking a recently renovated apartment to let. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent; local amenities, shops and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the leasehold tenure, service charge level and local crime statistics when assessing value. Structurally and cosmetically the property is in excellent condition, offering immediate occupation and low short-term maintenance, but longer-term owner plans should consider the remaining lease term and communal costs.
