A chain-free two-bedroom maisonette above Halstead High Street offering immediate refurbishment potential and a clear cash- or investor-led opportunity. The flat has its own front door, an open-plan kitchen/living area, two double bedrooms, bathroom and a useful storage/study cupboard — all arranged across about 645 sq ft.
Key positives are the town-centre position with excellent mobile signal, mains gas heating and a sizable open-plan living space that will appeal to short-term lets or resale after refurbishment. Local primary schools are rated Good and essential amenities, shops and transport are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should be aware this is a project property: the lease has around 75 years remaining and many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. The property requires renovation, timber-frame walls are assumed uninsulated and broadband speeds are slow. Ground rent is circa £200 per annum and the area records higher crime levels than average, which will affect lettings and resale strategy.
For a cash buyer or experienced investor prepared to refurbish and, if required, extend the lease, this maisonette offers a relatively low purchase price and a prominent High Street location that could unlock rental income or added value after works.
