This well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, move-in-ready home ideal for a first-time buyer or downsizer. The flat sits directly overlooking well-kept communal gardens, bringing extra light and a pleasant outlook to the lounge/diner and bedroom.
Practical strengths include an extended 158-year lease and no ground rent, plus an allocated off-street parking space. The open lounge/diner, generous double bedroom and decent storage make efficient use of the apartment’s 409 sq ft.
Be aware of the annual service charge of approximately £1,354 and that the property is in an area with above-average crime and a medium flooding risk; these are material factors for insurance and long-term running costs. Any alterations to create direct garden access (patio doors) would require the necessary permissions.
Situated on a modern development built in the 1990s, the apartment benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with straightforward road and rail links for commuting. The compact size suits someone seeking a low-maintenance first home or a buy-to-let investor looking for a straightforward, long-lease asset.
