This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat offers a compact, low-maintenance home ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking quick access to London. The long lease (approx. 144 years) and no onward chain make the purchase straightforward, while the south-facing bedroom and good natural light give the apartment a bright, comfortable feel.
Transport links are a key strength: Burnham rail station (Paddington line and Elizabeth Line/Crossrail) is about 0.2 miles away, and the M4 (J7) is easily accessible. The development includes communal grounds, resident parking and an additional single garage (sold on a separate lease) — useful for cars or extra storage, though note the garage attracts its own ground rent and lease terms.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, and the building shows mid-1990s construction with double glazing. Service charges are modest (around £730–£750 pa), council tax is low and there is no flood risk. Be aware the area records higher crime levels than average, and the separate garage lease and associated ground rent will require review during purchase.
Overall this is a compact, well-located apartment that suits a single occupant or couple wanting straightforward access to central London and low day-to-day maintenance, provided you accept electric heating and investigate the garage lease details.
