This chain-free, two-bedroom maisonette offers an accessible step onto the property ladder in North-East Basingstoke. Set over two floors with gas central heating and double glazing, the layout gives a separate lounge, kitchen/dining room and two bedrooms, all in a compact 842 sq ft footprint. The long lease (999 years from 2022) and nil ground rent reduce upfront ownership costs.
Outside there is a small gravelled garden area and an off-street parking space — low-maintenance outdoor space suited to first-time buyers or those seeking minimal garden upkeep. The location provides practical commuter links: quick access to the A33/M3 and around a 45-minute rail journey to London Waterloo. Local primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings and neighbourhood amenities are nearby.
Practical points to note: the property sits in a mid-terrace 1950s–60s block with timber-frame elements and partial insulation; some 1970s features are visible and there may be scope for further modernisation to maximise value. Maintenance and buildings insurance are shared 50/50 when required. Council Tax band B means relatively low ongoing local charges.
This maisonette suits first-time buyers wanting a manageable, commuter-friendly home with scope to personalise. It is offered with no onward chain, so a quick purchase is possible but buyers should factor in modest updating and shared maintenance arrangements.
