Spacious One Bedroom Apartment with Garage | Priced to Reflect Opportunity

A generously proportioned one bedroom first floor apartment, ideally positioned within easy reach of Mere Green’s popular shops, cafes and excellent transport links.

Just launched at £159,950, the property has been priced to reflect both the recent upgrades completed and the opportunity for a buyer to further enhance and reconfigure the space to suit their needs.

Having recently benefited from improvements including new electrics and modern heating, the apartment offers a solid, move-in ready base with excellent potential to add value.

Accommodation

Accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance, the apartment opens into a welcoming hallway with secure entry system and useful storage.

The large lounge/dining room is a standout feature, with two generous windows overlooking the front gardens, creating a bright and airy space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

The breakfast kitchen provides ample storage and worktop space, along with room for a table and chairs.

The double bedroom is well proportioned and benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes, offering excellent built-in storage.

A good sized bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a white suite and shower over bath.

Opportunity to Add Value

While key upgrades have already been completed, there is scope for cosmetic improvement, including removal of wallpaper and redecoration.

In addition, the generous layout offers potential to reconfigure into a two bedroom apartment, subject to layout, building regulations and any necessary consents. This creates a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to maximise both space and future value.

Investment Potential

The property also offers strong investment appeal, with estimated rental income of £925–£950 pcm, equating to approximately 7% gross yield. After factoring in service charges, this provides a realistic net return of around 6% (self-managed), making it a solid option in a high-demand rental location.

About eXp UK, West Midlands

114 St. Martin's Lane London WC2N 4BE

eXp UK are the newest estate agency business, powering individual agents around the UK to provide a personal service and experience to help get you moved.

Here are the top 7 things you need to know when moving home:

Get your house valued by 3 different agents before you put it on the market

Don't pick the agent that values it the highest, without evidence of other properties sold in the same area

It's always best to put your house on the market before you find a property

The estate agent acts for the seller and is there to get the seller the best price possible

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture

Be nice to estate agents - we're pretty nice people, offer some great advice and will help to get you moved ;-)
