This ground-floor, two-bedroom maisonette occupies a desirable corner plot in Gidea Park, offering a rare combination of garden, garage and gated off-road parking. The layout includes two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a contemporary family bathroom, making it practical for families or commuters who need versatile space. The property benefits from a very long lease (981 years) and share of freehold, with excellent transport links to Gidea Park and Romford stations and fast Elizabeth Line journeys to central London.
The maisonette sits in an Edwardian semi-detached building with solid brick walls and original character features such as a bay window and a feature fireplace. The private garden has patio and lawn areas for outdoor dining and play, while the detached garage and gated parking add convenience and security. Local schools are strong and the area is affluent with low crime, making this a sensible choice for buyers prioritising location and accessibility.
The property requires updating: it is described as a fixer-upper and likely needs modernisation to meet contemporary insulation and energy standards. Double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown, and walls are assumed to have no insulation. Buyers should verify maintenance, service-charge arrangements and any shared responsibilities, as the maisonette is self-maintained and the first-floor flat maintains its own area. There is only one bathroom and the layout is traditional rather than open-plan, which may not suit everyone.
Overall this is a substantial 920 sq ft ground-floor maisonette with good scope to add value through targeted refurbishment. It suits families or commuters seeking a long-lease home in a quiet, well-connected neighbourhood, but buyers should budget for modernisation and confirm tenure/service details with their solicitor.
