Offered at £65,000, this first-floor two-bedroom flat provides 765 sq ft of practical living space in a convenient Briery Walk location. The layout includes a comfortable lounge, a spacious kitchen-diner, two good-sized bedrooms and a separate bathroom and WC — a straightforward home for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking yield.
The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and shows signs of external neglect; the exterior will require maintenance and the communal areas appear basic. Windows are double glazed but were installed before 2002, so some upgrading may be needed in the medium term. Heating is by boiler and radiators (mains gas).
Tenure is leasehold. Known annual costs: ground rent £10, service charge £171.72 and building insurance £91.80 (buyers should verify full lease details). Council tax is understood to be band A, and there is no flood risk for the property.
The flat sits in a constrained neighbourhood with higher local crime and significant area deprivation, which affects long-term resale prospects and tenant demand. On the positive side, the location offers easy access to shops, link roads and nearby countryside walks, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for professionals and renters. Early viewing is advised to assess condition and potential.
