This two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers practical, house-like living across two levels — a welcoming lounge with bay window, a generous kitchen/diner and bedrooms placed with the bathroom on the upper floor. At about 646 sq ft the layout feels roomy for a first home and is ready to move into, so buyers can occupy straight away without major works.
The property sits on a long lease (972 years) with nominal ground rent and below-average service charges, helping running costs stay low. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place; council tax is very cheap. A small front garden adds kerb appeal and private outdoor space.
Notable negatives are the building's age and construction: solid brick walls (c.1900–1929) likely have minimal cavity insulation, so additional loft/wall insulation could be worth considering to improve comfort and running costs. The local area is classed as deprived and cosmopolitan/inner-city, which may suit buyers seeking urban amenities but may not suit those looking for a quieter suburb. The second bedroom is compact and the property is best suited to first-time buyers, downsizers wanting a low-maintenance home, or buy-to-let investors targeting strong local rental demand.
Nearby schools (several rated Good) and close transport links, hospital and local shops make this a practical, convenient location.
