This ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette in a quiet cul-de-sac is offered chain-free and freshly redecorated, presenting a straightforward purchase for a cash buyer or buy-to-let investor. The accommodation includes a double-aspect separate kitchen, a spacious double bedroom and a lounge/diner with a large storage cupboard. UPVC double glazing and recent carpets make it immediately habitable.
Significant practical considerations: the lease has 79 years remaining, which will likely prevent mortgage lenders from lending — hence the property is strictly for cash buyers. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the kitchen shows signs of age and would benefit from modernization if long-term owner-occupation is intended.
Service costs are modest: a below-average service charge (£156pa stated), low ground rent (£90pa) and inexpensive council tax (Band A). The location offers decent connectivity and local amenities, with nearby schools, bus routes and convenience stores, so the flat suits investors seeking a straightforward rental let or a buyer able to purchase without a mortgage.
Overall, this is a compact, move-in-ready flat that delivers low running costs and immediate rental potential, but it requires a cash purchaser or a buyer prepared to accept lease-length constraints and to update the kitchen and heating for higher comfort or resale value.
