Set on sought-after Lisures Drive, this one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers a compact, well-arranged home ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The property benefits from a long lease (125 years), no onward chain, and a rare garage in a separate block — practical assets in a popular Walmley location.
Interior space is efficiently used: a bright, spacious lounge/dining room, fitted galley kitchen, double bedroom with integrated wardrobes, and a family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown) provide comfort and reasonable running costs. The building dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s and will suit someone seeking a tidy, ready-to-live-in home or a low-effort rental purchase.
Be realistic about scale and likely investment needs. Total floor area is approximately 363 sq ft — compact for modern expectations — and the property may benefit from cosmetic updating to reflect personal taste or maximise rental income. The leasehold has an average service charge of about £1,200 and the maisonette is part of an end-terrace block, so communal maintenance depends on shared arrangements.
Location strengths include easy access to local shops, green spaces and well-rated schools, plus good mobile and broadband speeds. Chain-free sale and the included garage make this a straightforward purchase for someone prioritising low friction, secure parking, and long-term tenure in a stable suburban neighbourhood.
