This spacious two-bedroom maisonette offers a generous 845 sq ft of well-presented accommodation with its own external front door and no upward chain. The large 275 sq ft lounge/diner and separate kitchen/breakfast room suit first-time buyers or couples seeking roomy, practical living close to Horncastle town centre. Allocated off-street parking, visitor spaces and brick-walled communal gardens add low-maintenance outdoor space.
Practical running costs are a highlight: a very good EPC rating of 80, mains gas central heating with an annually serviced Worcester boiler, and low Council Tax (Band A). The lease is long (999-year original term from 1993, c. 967 years remaining), giving long-term security for buyers who prefer leasehold ownership. UPVC double glazing throughout improves comfort and reduces maintenance.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a quarterly service charge (around £325, c. £1,300 per year) covering exterior maintenance, buildings insurance and a contingency fund. The wider area scores as deprived with above-average local crime statistics, which may concern those prioritising a very low-crime neighbourhood. Overall the property combines roomy internal space and practical running costs with the convenience of walking distance to shops and services.
This maisonette is best for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home with long lease security and sensible ongoing costs. It presents immediate move-in condition with scope to personalise the large reception space and kitchen to taste.
