This one-bedroom, ground-floor maisonette in Old Church Green offers a compact, low-maintenance home or straightforward buy-to-let with immediate rental potential. The flat is presented in reasonable order with a fitted kitchen, electric storage heating and double-glazed windows; its EPC rating is D. With 140 years remaining on the lease the tenure is secure for long-term ownership.
The layout suits a single occupant or investor targeting local tenants: lounge, separate kitchen, one bedroom and bathroom, plus a small front garden. The property can be sold with or without a sitting tenant, which provides flexibility for a new owner to retain rental income or take vacant possession for refurbishment and re-letting.
Practical points to note: heating is electric storage/room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the area records higher deprivation levels, which may affect rental demand and long-term capital growth. Buildings insurance is currently listed at £333.50 for the year. Overall size is modest (approximately 442 sq ft) — ideal for a single renter or as part of a landlord portfolio seeking good yield rather than a spacious family home.
