A chain-free, ground-floor maisonette in Maidenhall offering a private garden and allocated parking — a rare combination at this price. The flat is compact (approximately 372 sq ft) with one bedroom, a reception room and a bathroom, suitable for a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking low running costs.
Important lease facts limit mainstream mortgage availability: only around 61 years remain on the lease, so this property is for cash buyers or investors prepared to refinance or extend the lease. Service charges are modest at about £300 per year and council tax is in Band A, which keeps ongoing costs low.
The property shows signs of wear and some cosmetic finishing needed — peeling paint and potential damp patches visible externally — presenting clear refurbishment potential. The location delivers excellent transport links, fast broadband and good local schools nearby, but the area records higher crime and deprivation levels than average, which may affect renter demand and resale premium.
For a buyer able to proceed in cash — or an investor planning a lease extension and light renovation — this flat represents a competitively priced entry into the Maidenhall market with immediate rental potential or short-term uplift after improvement.
