About this home

Offered with no onward chain, this spacious first floor apartment presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, investors or those looking to downsize. Occupying a pleasant position within the ever-popular Oxclose area, the property benefits from its own garden, a garage located within a nearby block, and offers fantastic potential for modernisation and personalisation throughout.

Major benefits include a new combi boiler and new windows.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall with stairs leading to the first-floor landing, a generous lounge flooded with natural light from the large picture window, a fitted kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom. While the property would benefit from updating, it provides a blank canvas for buyers looking to create a home to their own taste.
