This split-level, three-bedroom home offers generous room proportions across two floors in a budget-friendly package for growing families. Lounge and bedrooms are roomy for the size, and the property includes resident parking and communal gardens—practical assets for everyday family life.
The flat requires updating: scuffed walls, faded carpets and general maintenance are evident, so expect renovation and decorating costs. The building dates from the late 1960s/1970s; double glazing is fitted but install dates are unknown. These factors make the property a good candidate for a straightforward cosmetic refurb rather than a full structural overhaul.
Practical details are important: the maisonette is leasehold with 84 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,132 and a nominal ground rent (£10). The area offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and several Good and top-10%-ranked schools are within walking distance—useful for families and attractive to buy-to-let investors.
Be mindful of local context: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a higher crime rate than average. This affects rental demand and long-term resale values compared with more affluent areas, but the low asking price and strong room sizes present clear potential for those prepared to invest in improvement.
