This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a practical, well-located home ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking low running costs and town-centre convenience. The living room and kitchen-diner provide bright, usable space while the private rear garden and separate cabin add valuable outside space and a flexible home-working or hobby room. A large garage provides secure parking and storage.
The property is leasehold with 91 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £15 — favourable terms for this price bracket but important to note. The building dates from the late 1960s and has cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated; double glazing is present but was installed before 2002, so some energy-efficiency improvements may be worthwhile. The home is served by mains gas central heating and a single family bathroom.
Location is a strong selling point: a short walk to Alton town centre, good local schools, regular buses and a nearby mainline station for commuters. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working. Crime levels are very low and council tax is inexpensive, making this a sensible, affordable entry onto the property ladder.
Overall this maisonette presents a low-cost, well-situated starter home with room to personalise and upgrade. Buyers should allow budget for insulation and potential glazing or energy-efficiency work, and consider the remaining lease length when assessing long-term plans.
