Set back from the road with a leafy outlook, this large two-double-bedroom maisonette includes the rare benefit of a private rear garden — an unusual find at this price and type. The bright, spacious kitchen has room for a breakfast table and good storage; the adjoining sitting/dining room opens onto garden views. Two double bedrooms both face the garden, giving a quiet rear aspect.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and an 82-year lease with a low ground rent. Tilgate Park, lake, Go Ape and local shops are all within a short walk, and Crawley and Three Bridges stations are within easy reach for commuters. Council tax is described as cheap, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold maisonette with 82 years remaining and a nominal ground rent. The property dates from the 1950s–1960s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers may want to budget for insulation and updating of older window glazing. Street parking is available rather than allocated off-street parking, and local crime levels are above average — factors to weigh for families and commuters alike.
There is obvious scope to personalise: combining the separate bathroom and WC (as neighbours have done) would create a larger family bathroom, and the sizeable garden offers low-maintenance mature planting with potential for more landscaping or play space. Overall this home suits first-time buyers or couples seeking generous living space with garden access and straightforward local amenities.
