This chain-free three-bedroom ground-floor maisonette sits opposite Mousehold Heath and offers two balconies and off-road parking. At about 808 sq ft across two levels it presents immediate move-in potential for a first-time buyer or a lettings investor seeking a straightforward low-entry purchase.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, low service charge (£55 pcm) and a long lease (approximately 86 years remaining). The property has a single bathroom and built-in storage; council tax is very low, helping keep running costs down.
The flat is part of a 1960s/70s end-terrace block with Brutalist styling; interiors are tidy but dated and would benefit from updating to unlock full value. Important negatives to note: the area records high crime and very high deprivation, and the property is leasehold so buyers should factor in lease and legal costs plus potential additional leasehold admin fees.
For buyers prioritising location and affordability, this maisonette delivers direct access to green space, good nearby schools and fast broadband/mobile. It’s best suited to a purchaser comfortable with a property needing cosmetic modernisation or an investor targeting steady rental income in a constrained-renter market.
