Compact low-maintenance one-bed with good transport links and refurbishment potential.
Long lease — 94 years remaining
This one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers a compact, low-maintenance home or rental in Katherines on the edge of Harlow. The property has a long lease (94 years remaining), double glazing replaced after 2002, mains gas central heating and modest service charges — practical positives for a first-time buyer or investor seeking predictable running costs.
Internally the layout is traditional: a private front door and stairs to a living room with an open-plan kitchen area, one bedroom with built-in storage and a three-piece bathroom. The accommodation (approximately 543 sq ft) is in generally good condition but is modest in scale; rooms are medium to small and ceiling heights are standard. There is scope to modernise the kitchen and bathroom to add value.
Notable concerns are factual: the building is a 1970s system-built mid-terrace with assumed no wall insulation, and the small rear garden requires TLC. The wider area shows higher deprivation and a ‘hampered neighbourhoods’ local classification, though crime is reported as low. Leasehold terms include a low ground rent (£10) and a below-average service charge (£600), while council tax band is unspecified.
Location benefits include quick access to Harlow town centre, local shops, bus links to Epping and North London, good broadband and excellent mobile signal. Several primary and secondary schools are nearby (most rated Good by Ofsted). For buyers prioritising low upkeep, affordability and transport links, this maisonette represents a straightforward, economical purchase with modest refurbishment potential.
