This two-bedroom maisonette offers practical living space and genuine value for a buyer looking to enter the market or add to a rental portfolio. Set in an end-terrace block built in the late 1970s, the home includes a private garden and a rear garage for storage—useful extras that are becoming harder to find at this price point.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a bright living room with garden access, a modern-feeling kitchen, and two comfortably sized bedrooms serving a single bathroom. The property has double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of D. The long lease (129 years remaining) and low council tax band help keep running costs low.
Buyers should note the wider context: the local area is classified as very deprived with higher crime levels and hampered neighbourhood indicators. The property will suit someone prepared to accept those local challenges or a landlord targeting affordable housing demand in a major conurbation. Some cosmetic updating or targeted improvements could increase value and rental appeal.
Nearby schools are rated Good and local amenities, playgrounds and leisure facilities are within reach. With fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the maisonette is practical for everyday needs and flexible working. This is a pragmatic choice for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a low-cost entry with clear potential to improve.
