Set over two floors, this four-bedroom maisonette in Bensham offers roomy family accommodation and genuine long-term security with 979 years remaining on the lease. The property totals about 1,153 sq ft and sits in a traditional Victorian mid-terrace with period features such as a bay window and medium-to-high ceilings. Natural light fills the reception rooms and bedrooms, making the layout bright and adaptable for family life or sharers.
Practical positives include a rear yard, double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working or studying. The property is close to local amenities, schools (including an Outstanding primary), and strong transport links, which supports commuting and rental demand.
There is clear renovation potential: the house needs modernisation throughout and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should budget for upgrades to heating efficiency and interior finishes. The home currently has a single bathroom for four bedrooms, which could be a consideration for larger families or multiple occupants.
The area is classified as deprived but benefits from very low recorded crime and a wide range of nearby services. This maisonette will suit a buyer seeking a spacious, characterful property to modernise for family living or to add value as an investment.
