This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Glasson Court offers easy, low-maintenance living close to Penrith town centre. The flat benefits from gas central heating via a condensing boiler, uPVC double glazing and an efficient EPC C rating — practical points that keep running costs reasonable. Generous communal gardens and a shared off-road parking space give outdoor space without the upkeep of a private garden.
The layout is traditional and compact, with a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower/wet room arranged for straightforward daily use. The long lease (999 years from 2006) and modest annual service charge of £350 cover buildings insurance and communal upkeep, providing tenure security and predictable communal costs.
The apartment requires a cosmetic overhaul to reach its potential; finishes are dated and the accommodation will benefit from redecoration and modernising to suit contemporary tastes. It is not suitable for holiday lets and is presented as a practical, affordable option for someone seeking a manageable home near local amenities and transport links.
For a downsizer or buyer seeking a modest, well-located home with low running costs and communal grounds, this flat represents an affordable entry into Penrith’s housing market — provided you budget for cosmetic updating to personalise the space.
