This compact studio occupies a fourth-floor position in a modern low-rise block at Billys Copse, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The open-plan layout includes a fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom suite, storage cupboards and new carpets and paint. A southerly aspect and Juliet balcony look onto the communal green, and an allocated off-street parking space is included.
Practical running costs and services are important to note: the lease has 136 years remaining, current ground rent is £306.91 (last reviewed Nov 2021) and the 2024 service charge was £1,907.69 (under review for 2025). Heating is by electric room heaters, and the property has double glazing; buyers should expect electric heating costs rather than gas central heating.
The local area is classified as a high-deprivation, renting community with above-average crime statistics, and nearby primary provision includes two schools rated “Requires improvement” as well as other good or outstanding options farther afield. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports remote working or letting to commuters.
This is a practical purchase for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home with long lease security, or for an investor looking for a simple buy-to-let in a well-connected suburban pocket. The flat’s small size limits flexibility for families and will suit single occupants or couples comfortable with compact living.
