2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in peaceful Mortimer, offered chain-free.
Ground-floor apartment with easy step-free access
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a quiet, woodland-edge spot in Mortimer, a short walk from village shops, schools and rail links. The property offers easy step-free access, a dual-aspect living/dining room and a recently fitted modern shower room, making it a practical home for anyone looking to downsize or buy without a chain.
The apartment is compact at around 526 sq ft and is best suited to buyers seeking low-maintenance living rather than large-family accommodation. The kitchen remains in its original condition and will benefit from updating, offering clear scope to add value and personalise the space. Double glazing and electric storage/room heaters help with comfort, but heating is fully electric rather than gas-fed central heating.
This is a leasehold property with approximately 94 years remaining. Annual costs include a service charge of about £1,860 and ground rent of £268; buyers should factor these into affordability calculations. Communal gardens and allocated resident parking are practical extras and the property is offered with no onward chain, allowing a quicker move.
Overall, the apartment is a sensible, well-located purchase for downsizers, first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable home in an affluent, village setting. It requires some cosmetic updating to reach its full potential, but the combination of location, ground-floor convenience and communal amenities gives it clear appeal.
