A budget-friendly two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offered as 50% shared ownership, presenting an affordable route onto the property ladder. The flat has a private rear garden and an allocated parking space — useful extras that are increasingly rare at this price point.
Internally the layout is practical: open-plan lounge/diner, separate kitchen and two bedrooms within about 522 sq ft. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk. Local primary and secondary schools include several rated Good, which will suit young families or buyers planning for future schooling.
This home requires updating: heating is by electric room heaters and the property shows as dated in places. The lease has approximately 85 years remaining, with an average service charge of £1,128 and a small ground rent of £180 — all material costs to factor into affordability calculations. The surrounding area is classified as hampered with higher crime and deprivation indicators; prospective buyers should check local conditions and view at different times.
In short, this maisonette offers value and clear potential for a buyer willing to modernise. It suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with scope to improve, but not those seeking a turn-key or low-risk neighbourhood.
