Annual charges are notable: service charge circa £4,700 and ground rent £452 per year; building insurance approximately £1,427 per year.
Location strengths are convenience and amenities nearby, plus several well‑rated local primary and secondary schools.

Overall this is a large, well‑located modern apartment that suits buyers wanting space, balcony/roof terrace access and a straightforward, chain‑free purchase. Investors should factor service charges, community heating and local area markers into rental projections; owner‑occupiers should consider security and local social factors when deciding to view.
