Description

This studio apartment offers a practical layout with a spacious studio room, kitchenette, and family bathroom. While the interiors currently reflect an older style, there is significant potential for modernization, allowing an investor or homeowner to tailor the space to modern tastes. Located within a short walking distance of Fairwater Green's shops and amenities, this property benefits from convenient access to public transportation, with a bus stop directly outside. With no onward chain and being cash buyers only, this property presents an appealing opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project. Leasehold details indicate 77 years remaining on the lease, along with reasonable ground rent and maintenance charges that make this a manageable buy-to-let or starter home investment.
