A well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offering about 697 sq ft of comfortable living with a private garden. The interior is modern and light, with a sizeable living room, fitted kitchen with utility area, and a contemporary bathroom — ready to move into with minimal immediate work required.
Positioned close to Thornton Heath station, the property suits first-time buyers seeking straightforward access to central London, local shops, and green spaces. The building is a circa 1900–1929 Victorian mid-terrace with period character externally and double glazing internally; heating is gas boiler and radiators.
Important lease information is clear: the current lease shows c.72 years remaining, but the seller will extend the lease by 90 years on completion (resulting in well over 160 years) and offers the freehold separately for £5,000. Until the extension is completed, some lenders may refuse mortgages, so buyers should confirm finance options early. Ground rent is nominal (£1) and annual building insurance is £1,094.
Solid-brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation and the property is over a century old, so buyers should commission a survey to check thermal performance and any hidden maintenance. Overall, this is a practical, well-located home that offers long-term tenure certainty once the lease extension and optional freehold purchase are completed.
