GENERAL
Brought to the market with the benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN, this is a great opportunity for a first time buyer, or an investor landlord, to purchase a well-proportioned flat that enjoys a long lease and a comparatively low service charge that includes a sum to cover the ground rent. Oakfield House is an imposing Victorian mansion comprising 14 apartments over four floors. With uPVC double glazing and gas central heating, No12 briefly comprises a private entrance hall, a very impressive living room with a large bay window, open plan kitchen, two bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with shower. The location is within a couple of minutes’ walk of Headingley train station, and handy for numerous public transport links into the city centre and the universities. Five minutes away is the famous Headingley cricket ground and rugby ground, as well as all the shops and bars in Headingley and Kirkstall. The flat has private and visitor car parking, set within extensive grounds maintained by the leasehold management company. EARLY VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
