A spacious, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment set on the first floor of a mid‑century purpose-built block in Martins Wood. The property offers generous principal rooms — a 17ft lounge and a 17ft bedroom — plenty of natural light and attractive communal gardens that provide a leafy outlook and quiet outdoor space. Allocated off‑street parking and fast broadband/mixed transport links make this an easy everyday base for professionals and couples.
Practical running costs are clear: gas central heating, double glazing and a very long lease (951 years remaining) reduce ownership friction. Service charges are approximately £98.90 per month (circa £1,186.80 annually); council tax is described as very cheap. The layout is efficient for modern living, with a fitted kitchen, bathroom and useful built‑in storage in the hall.
Buyers should note the building’s mid‑1970s construction and assumed cavity wall build with no added insulation; future buyers may wish to budget for energy improvements. The block appears well maintained but the flat is average in size at about 502 sq ft, so those wanting larger accommodation should view to confirm it meets their space needs. Overall, this is a practical, low‑hassle one‑bed solution suitable for first‑time buyers, couples or investors seeking a lettable, centrally located flat.
