Chain free ground-floor maisonette, recently redecorated
A neat, ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette presented move-in ready after recent redecoration. The property benefits from a modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a light lounge/diner that opens views towards its private garden. The enclosed rear garden is low-maintenance with artificial lawn and is a genuine bonus for this size of home.
Practical features include built-in bedroom wardrobes, a large walk-in storage cupboard, double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Chain free and offered with approximately 89 years remaining on the lease, this unit suits a first-time buyer seeking a turnkey starter home or an investor looking for a straightforward let close to local amenities.
Be aware of key ownership costs and local context: the home is leasehold (service charge circa £468 pa, ground rent £10), and the immediate area is classified as hampered aspiration with above-average crime and higher local deprivation. The flat is compact at about 354 sq ft, so space is limited and may not suit buyers needing larger accommodation.
Location is practical: a cul-de-sac close to a parade of shops, bus routes, and about a 20-minute walk to Ifield train station. Broadband speeds are good and council tax is described as cheap, which can help running costs. Overall this is an affordable, low-maintenance property that offers garden space and convenience, though buyers should note the short-term lease considerations and local area indicators.
