A spacious, well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat, which has been through a program of modernisation and remodelling to create a bright and airy modern living space. Ideally positioned on the edge of a sought-after development just off Milton Road. With no onward chain. The property is an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers or investors, offering an estimated rental income of £1,000 per calendar month.


No. 38 Blackthorn Close forms part of an imaginatively designed block of flats, set within well-maintained surroundings with ample parking and communal cycle and bin stores.


The entrance hall includes a storage cupboard and access to an airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder. The highlight of the property is the light-filled open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, featuring a triple aspect and sliding doors to a private, patio area opening to the lawns. The kitchen is beautifully refitted with a modern range of units and equipped with integrated and freestanding appliances and a breakfast bar.


The bedroom is a generously sized double, offering a sunny southerly aspect and views to the front. The bathroom has been comprehensively remodelled to comprise a three-piece suite, including a generous walk-in shower, low-level WC, and washbasin with storage.


Outside, the property benefits from a communal parking area (first-come, first-served), an allocated parking space, and a secure shared bike store. The private patio leads to surrounding lawns, providing a pleasant outdoor space.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 17, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 30, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on January 27, 2022 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
