One-bed maisonette with garden and parking — ideal to modernise and personalise.
Allocated off-street parking space and private rear garden
A ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette in Southgate, Crawley, offering direct garden access, an allocated parking space and a rear conservatory. The home sits in a quiet street close to primary and secondary schools, local shops and regular bus links, making daily life straightforward for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing.
The property requires modernisation throughout, giving a clear opportunity to personalise the layout, finishes and fittings. Interior rooms are a reasonable size for the footprint — lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom plus the conservatory — and the small service charge and low ground rent help running costs.
Important note on tenure: the lease has approximately 58 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on properties with a shorter lease, and lease extension costs should be investigated before offer. There is also above-average local crime and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so budget for thermal improvements and security measures.
This maisonette is a practical, affordable entry point to the Crawley market for buyers happy to undertake updating. If you value outside space, parking and proximity to good schools, this property warrants a viewing, but bring enquires about lease extension and renovation costs to your solicitor and mortgage adviser.
