This chain-free two-bedroom period maisonette has been newly renovated, combining original character with contemporary finishes. A private rear garden and bright living room make it feel larger than its footprint suggests, while new appliances and double glazing add immediate convenience for a first-time buyer.
The location suits commuters and young families: opposite Spa Hill Allotments and walking distance to parks, shops and strong transport links. Nearby schools include an Outstanding primary (David Livingstone Academy) and a Good secondary (Harris Academy Beulah Hill), helpful for family planning.
Buyers should note material lease and cost details. The property is leasehold with 77 years remaining — mortgage lenders may refuse or require higher deposits. Ground rent is stated at £736, which is high and will affect running costs. The building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation and an unknown double-glazing install date; further insulation or fabric upgrades may be needed over time.
Overall this is a well-presented, affordable entry into the area with scope for longer-term value uplift if lease length and service arrangements are addressed. Suited to first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in home, small families, or investors willing to manage lease/ground-rent considerations.
