This well-presented ground-floor flat sits in the heart of Low Fell, offering two good-sized bedrooms and comfortable living across circa 679 sqft. The home blends period character — coving, ceiling roses and an exposed brick chimney recess with a modern fitted kitchen and functional living space, ready to move into.
Practical details that matter: the property is leasehold with a very long remaining term (959 years), council tax band A (very cheap) and an EPC rating of C. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the shower is an electric unit in the corner enclosure. The rear courtyard and front garden provide private outdoor space for plants or relaxing.
Notable considerations are factual and straightforward: the building has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, which can affect running costs and future upgrade plans. The area registers above-average crime levels, so purchasers should assess local security measures. Overall the flat suits first-time buyers and investors seeking a ready-to-live-in property in a well-regarded, amenity-rich neighbourhood with strong long-term lease security.
Positioned close to shops, cafes, schools and transport links, this ground-floor apartment offers an accessible, characterful base with scope to personalise. For buyers prioritising location and immediate usability over major refurbishment, this property merits a viewing.
