Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat with private garden
This chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor flat offers a compact, well-laid-out home with private outdoor space and off-street parking — rare at this price point. The open kitchen/diner and large living window deliver light and usable space for everyday living, while the walk-in wardrobe adds practical storage.
Practical running costs are visible: a nominal £1 ground rent, a below-average service charge of £720.11 and very low council tax (Band A). The long lease (about 250 years remaining) and fast local broadband make the property suitable for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward, lettable unit close to Hanley.
There are some material limitations to note. The flat is small (around 428 sq ft) and heated by electric storage heaters; the EPC is D. The wider area records above-average crime and high deprivation levels, which will affect resale and rental prospects. The property was built in the early 1990s and has double glazing installed before 2002, so some updating may be desirable.
Location is a strong selling point: tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac yet only a short distance from Hanley city centre and main routes including the A50. Excellent mobile coverage and up-to-1Gbps broadband suit modern living. Overall this is a pragmatic, low-entry purchase for someone seeking an affordable home or a town-centre rental purchase, provided they accept the neighbourhood challenges and modest size.
