A well-presented first-floor maisonette offering roomy living and private entrance, ideal for a first-time buyer or small family. The living room is bright and large enough for a dining area; the modern kitchen and two good-sized bedrooms add everyday comfort. Communal gardens and residents' off-street parking add convenience, and the long lease (934 years) removes common leasehold concerns.
Practical details include double glazing and mains gas heating with room heaters; the glazing was installed before 2002 and the heating is basic, so buyers wanting higher efficiency may consider upgrades. Service charge is modest at £930 per year, but note the ground rent is also listed at £930, which is high and should be checked with a solicitor.
Location is a strong selling point: close to several good primary schools, local shops, bus routes and easy walks to Carisbrooke Castle and surrounding countryside. Flooding risk is medium and the wider area shows higher deprivation indicators, so careful local research and insurance checks are recommended.
Overall this is an accessible, comfortably sized maisonette with scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updating. It suits buyers seeking a practical starter home near amenities and green spaces, provided they account for the listed ground rent and consider flood and efficiency implications.
