This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a practical, low-cost entry into Ashford living. With a long lease of 147 years and a very low service charge of £25 per month (and ground rent also £25), the running costs are unusually modest for the area, giving clear long-term value for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The layout makes good use of a compact footprint: a spacious lounge, a master bedroom with double-aspect windows, a second bedroom and a single bathroom. A private garden, allocated parking and a separate garage add useful outdoor and storage space that many flats lack. The property sits within walking distance of the town centre and station, making commutes and local amenities straightforward.
The flat is small at around 429 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking a compact home or a rental investment rather than a growing family. The local area records above-average crime, which buyers should factor into insurance and security plans. Cosmetic updates may be desired by some buyers, though the kitchen and heating are functional and double glazing is fitted.
Overall this is a cost-effective, conveniently located maisonette with long lease security and low ongoing costs. It’s best for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors looking for a manageable, well-located property with outdoor space and parking.
