Important facts: the flat is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (981 years) giving strong ownership security; ground rent is approximately £265 (average). The building is traditional solid-brick construction (likely pre-1900) and double glazed; walls are assumed uninsulated which could affect heating efficiency. The overall footprint is small (around 400 sqft), so space is best suited to a single occupant or couple.
This maisonette offers straightforward, economical living in a well-connected area. It’s an attractive entry-level purchase for buyers prioritising transport links, low council tax and a private outdoor space. Be aware of local crime levels above average and consider insulation and security improvements to maximise comfort and long-term value.
