This two-bedroom maisonette on Wythefield offers an affordable entry into the local market with practical, move-in-ready rooms and a private roof terrace. The flat’s modern kitchen and bathroom and two double bedrooms suit a couple, small family, or first-time buyer seeking convenience rather than luxury.
Location is a clear asset: walking distance to several primary and secondary schools, close to local shops and leisure facilities, and easy access to the A13 for commuting. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming. The building is a post‑war, Brutalist-style block with communal access and compact apartment footprints.
Buyers should note material realities honestly: the flat is leasehold with about 90 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,440 per year. The property is small (approximately 56.2 m2 / 605 sq ft) and sits in an area with high crime and significant deprivation indicators, which will affect resale and rental demand. There is no flooding risk.
For investors, the low guide price and local rental demand could present opportunity, but factor in the service charge, lease length, and local area profile when calculating yield. For owner-occupiers, this is a practical, affordable home close to schools and transport, best suited to someone prioritising location and value over space or a low-crime locale.
