Summary - 157 Southgate Drive RH10 6EU
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Ready-to-move-in starter home with garden and low running costs.
Chain-free two-bedroom maisonette near town centre and station
This chain-free two-bedroom maisonette on Southgate Drive offers an affordable, ready-to-move-in home close to Crawley town centre and the station. Refitted kitchen and bathroom plus replacement double glazing and gas central heating make it comfortable from day one. With a small private garden it suits first-time buyers wanting outside space without heavy maintenance.
The property sits on a 99-year lease with very low ground rent (£10 pa) and a modest service charge (£450 pa). At about 679 sq ft, the layout is traditional and efficient: a living/dining room, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Recent renovations reduce immediate repair costs and simplify mortgage processes for many buyers.
Important practical points are set out plainly: the local area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels, which may affect buyers wanting a quieter neighbourhood. Leasehold tenure and the remaining 99 years are adequate for most lenders, but purchasers should check lender and conveyancer requirements. Council tax is described as cheap and broadband and mobile signal are good.
Overall, this maisonette represents an accessible entry onto the local market — well-presented internally, close to amenities and transport, and likely to suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental asset. Be aware of the neighbourhood context and confirm lease and financing details early in the process.
