Description

Hunters are pleased to present this purpose built one bedroom, top floor flat in the popular St Leonards Park estate. Located close to both East Grinstead town centre and the train station, this property will appeal to both first time buyers and investors alike.

The flat consists of a well proportioned living room offering fine views over the communal gardens and beyond plus a good sized double bedroom with a built in wardrobe/cupboard. A fully fitted bathroom, kitchen and hallway with two storage cupboards complete the accommodation on offer.

A little cosmetic updating is recommended although the property does come fully double glazed, with electric heating and the bonus of one allocated parking space. Outside are well tended communal gardens and the mainline train station and town centre are just a few short minutes walk away.

The flat comes with full vacant possession, an extended lease and no onward chain. Call Hunters to arrange your viewing!

  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
