A spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment backing onto Glebedale Park, offered chain free with a very long lease (964 years). The flat provides a large open-plan living area, separate kitchen and two double bedrooms across about 931 sq ft — a generous layout that will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Practical running costs are competitive: council tax is low and the property has an EPC rating of C. Service charge (£720pa) and ground rent (£50pa) are modest. Communal off-street parking and a shared garden add low-maintenance outdoor space, while the building’s modern red-brick construction gives straightforward curb appeal.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is in a very deprived area with higher-than-average local crime rates, and main heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be costly to run compared with gas. The local neighbourhood is predominantly blue-collar terraces and rental-constrained, which may affect resale and tenant demand.
There is clear potential to improve and personalise the flat — cosmetic and heating upgrades could add value. This is a sensible short-list property for someone seeking a spacious, long-lease apartment with immediate rental or owner-occupation potential, provided buyers accept the local area context and heating type.
