Summary - Flat 10, Charden Court, York Drove SO18 5LZ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free top-floor flat with garage, balcony and long lease—ideal for first-time buyers.
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with balcony over communal garden
This top-floor two-bedroom flat is a practical, ready-to-move-in home offered chain-free. The bright living room opens onto a pleasant balcony with views over the communal garden, while a garage in a block and residents’ parking add real convenience for car owners. At about 646 sq ft, the layout is traditional and straightforward, with storage in the hallway and two double bedrooms that suit sharers, a small family or first-time buyers seeking space and value.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The long lease (around 103 years remaining) reduces immediate ownership risk; council tax is very low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong in this area. Local amenities, schools and transport links, including easy access to the M3/M27 and Southampton Parkway rail services, make this a well-located choice for commuting or local life.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an annual service charge (circa 1,140) and a small ground rent ( 100). The building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect heating costs and future improvement plans. Access to the flat is via communal stairs to the top floor (no lift), which may be a consideration for mobility-limited purchasers.
Overall this flat offers straightforward modern living, outdoor space and parking at an attractive price point. It will suit first-time buyers or downsizers who value low running costs, decent transport links and scope to personalise the interior.
