- Chain free with 121–122 years remaining on the lease
- No service charges or ground rent payable
- Bright open-plan kitchen/living with breakfast bar
- Generous double bedroom with plantation-style shutters
- On-street parking only; no private off-road parking
- Lease restricts full loft conversion and structural changes
- Cavity walls assumed uninsulated; potential energy upgrades needed
- Local area records very high crime and higher deprivation
A smart, chain-free one-bedroom maisonette with a long lease and minimal running costs. The open-plan living room and contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar create a bright, sociable heart for the home, while the generous double bedroom benefits from plantation-style shutters and good built-in storage. The bathroom is recently presented and the property is double-glazed with gas central heating, making it economical to run.
This property offers particular appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance flat close to Fareham town centre and Fareham Creek. There are no service charges or ground rent and 121–122 years remain on the lease, which reduces near-term ownership uncertainty. The split-level layout provides clear separation between living and sleeping spaces.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: there is no private off-street parking (on-street only), the surrounding area records a high local crime level and the neighbourhood scores as relatively deprived. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the lease prohibits full loft conversion or certain structural changes, which limits extension potential.
Overall this is a competitively priced, well-presented maisonette for someone prioritising a long lease, low ongoing costs and a central location — but one who accepts limited renovation options and will need to consider parking and area safety factors.
