Chain-free 3-bedroom maisonette arranged over two floors, offering 807 sq ft of flexible living space and a straightforward purchase for investors or hands-on buyers. The layout provides a substantial living room, separate dining area and a practical kitchen, with three bedrooms upstairs suitable for family rental tenancies or sharers.
The property shows clear scope for improvement: rooms need modernisation and there are reported damp/mould issues that will require investigation and remedial work. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, has cavity walls assumed without insulation and older double glazing, so upgrading heating, insulation and windows would improve comfort and long-term running costs.
Financially this is an attractive proposition: long lease (134 years), chain-free sale and fast broadband make it lettable quickly. Note the average annual service charge of £1,452 and an area with above-average crime statistics — both factors to weigh when forecasting rental yield or resale value.
Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools nearby and convenient transport links add to lettability for families and commuters. Buyers seeking a ready-to-rent, value-add investment or a family home to renovate will find genuine potential here, provided they allow budget for essential repairs and modernisation.
