Quietly located a short walk from Maldon High Street, this chain-free one-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, characterful home for a first-time buyer or downsizer. The first-floor flat provides a double bedroom, living room, fitted kitchen and bathroom across a modest 424 sq ft, with double glazing and period features visible in the exterior and internal fireplace. Off-street parking and a small garden space add practical convenience in a central town location.
A significant asset is the substantial loft space accessed from the bedroom, offering clear potential for further accommodation subject to planning permission (STPP). The property is presented as a comfortable, ready-to-live-in home but will reward modest updating and insulation improvements—especially given the solid-brick walls and electric room heaters currently in use.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with 89 years remaining and a ground rent of £150 per year (increasing by £50 every 25 years). Maintenance costs and buildings insurance are shared with the freeholder/ground-floor owner; the current annual buildings insurance premium is approximately £230 split between properties. The lease contains a clause preventing buy-to-let, so the property is not suitable for letting investors.
Overall, this maisonette suits someone seeking a centrally located, low-crime town home with immediate occupancy and scope to add value via loft conversion and energy-efficiency upgrades. Costs are relatively predictable, but the limited lease length and electric heating are practical considerations when weighing long-term ownership plans.
