A practical two-bedroom flat offering comfortable living across approximately 636 sq ft, well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property has double glazing (installed post-2002), gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a straightforward layout featuring a generous lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom with shower over bath plus a separate WC.
The flat sits in a semi-detached post‑war building with long leasehold tenure (118 years remaining) and very low council tax (Band A). Shared front and rear gardens provide outside space but will need maintenance. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local transport links include nearby bus services and the Metro, making commuting and local travel easy.
Buyers should weigh local area factors: the location falls within a very deprived area classification with high recorded crime rates and community challenges. The accommodation is described as ready to move into, but the gardens and some external elements may require attention. The property represents clear potential for someone seeking affordable entry to the market or a rental purchase in an accessible neighbourhood with long-term lease security.
