This one-bedroom leasehold flat on Deanshanger Road offers a low-maintenance home in the village of Old Stratford, well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan living room and kitchen flow to a notably large balcony, extending the living space and providing outdoor privacy. Allocated off-street parking adds practical convenience in a very low-crime, affluent area.
The interior is functional and mostly ready to occupy with built-in kitchen appliances and recent electric oil-filled radiators. The property sits in a solid-brick building with external insulation and double glazing, and the very long lease (972 years) removes common leasehold timing concerns. Service charge and council tax are both described as low, helping to keep ongoing costs down.
Buyers should note the flat uses electric storage heating (main fuel: electricity) which is less efficient than gas and may mean higher running costs. The accommodation is modest at around 463 sq ft and was constructed in the early 20th century; the internal layout and finishes are straightforward rather than high-spec, so modernisation could add significant value. Leasehold status means additional leasehold-related fees (e.g., lease packs) could apply.
Overall, this property represents an affordable entry into Milton Keynes suburbia with clear upside for buyers happy to refresh the interior. Its combination of balcony, parking and a very long lease makes it an attractive practical purchase for first-time owners or small-scale landlords targeting steady rental demand in a village setting.
