This two-bedroom ground/first-floor maisonette sits in a popular Stoke street and offers a compact, house-like layout ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The living room benefits from an original fireplace and a feature timber staircase, giving character and a sense of space. There is a useful rear courtyard with storage sheds and unusually large loft space for a flat.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and easy on-street parking. The long lease (approximately 164 years remaining), low ground rent (£50) and modest service charge (£815) support healthy running costs, while council tax is described as very cheap.
Buyers should note the property is small (about 549 sq ft), set in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates; these factors will affect resale and lettings. The building is of solid brick construction with no known wall insulation, so thermal improvements may be needed. The maisonette is offered as seen and will suit purchasers prepared to update finishes and insulation for comfort and long-term value.
