A compact ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette on Chester Road that suits investors or a buyer prepared to modernise. The flat offers a sizeable lounge, fitted kitchen, and a modern bathroom in a small, efficient layout. Double glazing and built-in storage are useful practical features for a rental or first home.
Important purchase considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with only 56 years remaining. This will make mortgage finance difficult or impossible for many buyers and the sale will proceed via the Modern Method of Auction, which includes a non-refundable reservation fee and a buyer information pack charge. Service charge and ground rent are modest at present but should be confirmed by your solicitor.
The home is heated by electric room heaters and sits in a solid-brick building likely without cavity insulation, so heating costs and future insulation work are realistic maintenance items. Broadband and mobile coverage in the area are strong, and the flat is close to Chester Road train station and local shops, improving lettability and everyday convenience.
For someone seeking an investment with immediate rental potential or a low-cost entry into ownership who can fund or accept the lease constraints, this property represents a straightforward, manageable project. Cosmetic updating would increase appeal and potential income; however, buyers must factor in lease extension costs, possible lender restrictions, and any required electrical/heating upgrades.
