Compact low-maintenance home close to station and park.
Chain-free with a 983-year lease and share of freehold
A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette in a small gated mews, offered chain-free with a very long lease and share of freehold. The layout provides a large sitting room with patio doors, an elongated double bedroom and an en-suite shower, making it a comfortable, low-upkeep first home or buy-to-let opportunity. Off-street parking and communal grounds add convenience and outdoor space without private garden maintenance.
Practical details suit cost-conscious buyers: the property is compact at around 500 sq ft and heated by electric storage heaters, with double glazing installed after 2002. Annual service charges average around £1,700 and council tax is moderate — factor these running costs into your budget. The building is period-styled with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) so further insulation or heating upgrades could improve comfort and running bills.
Location is a key strength: under half a mile to Epsom town centre and the mainline station, and moments from Rosebery Park and local schools rated Outstanding. This makes the flat attractive for commuters and those wanting easy access to amenities. Be aware the area records higher crime levels locally; consider security measures and local checks before committing.
Overall this maisonette suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable, well-located property with low exterior maintenance and long lease security. It offers immediate use with sensible scope for targeted improvements (heating, insulation) to enhance comfort and future value.
