Situated in Frankwell on Longner Street, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance, contemporary living with a private courtyard and secure gated parking. The layout suits downsizers, professionals or investors seeking a town-centre base with immediate access to shops, cafes, river walks and transport links. No upward chain means a straightforward purchase window.
The apartment dates from the mid-2000s and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an open-plan living/kitchen area that receives good natural light. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a refitted family bathroom provide practical accommodation, while the private outdoor area is a rare find for a ground-floor flat and ideal for summer entertaining or pot plants.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold, with a small ground rent of £100 and an ongoing service charge (priced as of 2025 and paid half-yearly). The local area records above-average crime, which makes the secure gated parking and enclosed courtyard valuable features for peace of mind. Council tax is described as inexpensive and the property has an EPC rating of C.
Overall this is a sensible, easy-to-run apartment in a central position. Buyers should factor in the leasehold costs and local crime statistics when assessing suitability, but will find a turn-key, well-located home with good rental or owner-occupier potential.
