This first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a genuine waterside setting with a private balcony and allocated parking — a compact home with clear commuter appeal. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and en-suite main bedroom suit a couple or first-time buyer seeking modern, low-maintenance living close to transport links (station about 0.3 miles).
Buyers should factor in the sale method and ongoing costs. The property is sold via Modern Auction (undisclosed reserve) with a non-refundable reservation fee (typically 4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer administration fees. Leasehold tenure (about 105 years remaining), an annual service charge around £1,420 and additional lease pack costs affect affordability and mortgageability.
Practical details: heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing is double-glazed (post-2002), so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The waterside aspect is a strong selling point but brings potential visual and noise impact from nearby port/industrial activity. Communal area condition and exact internal layout should be checked during viewing and via the buyer information pack.
This apartment suits someone who values waterfront living and easy commuting, and who is comfortable buying at auction after completing their own due diligence. It also offers short-term lettability potential, but investors must allow for service charges, lease considerations and local area factors when assessing yield.
