Summary - 8 Kiln Shaw, Langdon Hills SS16 6LE
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact one-bedroom with private courtyard and long lease.
Chain free — ready for a quick sale
A chain-free, one-bedroom maisonette with a long lease and private courtyard, suited to first-time buyers or investors looking for straightforward low-maintenance living. The lounge/diner is a stand-out space for the size, with patio doors that open directly onto the courtyard — useful for light outdoor living and easy entertaining.
The kitchen and bathroom are functional and well laid out; the double bedroom is a good size for the property. Practical features include double glazing and a remaining lease of approximately 104 years, giving security for future ownership.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the overall internal area is small (about 371 sq ft), the building uses a community heating scheme and there is a service charge (circa £788) to cover shared costs. The surrounding area sits within a higher-deprivation classification, which may influence resale or rental demand. A rooftop terrace is present but will need cleaning and basic maintenance.
For buyers prioritising value and a quick purchase, this maisonette offers a compact, well-configured home with outdoor space and minimal immediate repair needs. Investors should note the leasehold terms and service charge when modelling returns.
