Chain-free two-bedroom maisonette with courtyard and long lease, ideal starter or investment..
- Split-level two double bedrooms with private courtyard garden
- Long lease: approximately 125 years remaining
- Open-plan kitchen/living room, dual aspect, High Street views
- Updated bathroom but most internal finishes are dated
- EPC rating G; poor energy efficiency and likely high running costs
- Heating: room heaters and mains gas, cavity walls uninsulated
- Mid-terrace above mixed-use commercial units on busy High Street
- Chain free and available for immediate occupation
Set over three levels in the heart of town, this split-level two-double-bedroom maisonette offers a practical first home or buy-to-let with immediate availability and no onward chain. The property benefits from a private enclosed courtyard, good built-in storage, and a bright dual-aspect open-plan kitchen/living room that faces the busy High Street.
Practical positives include a long lease (around 125 years remaining), double glazing (installed before 2002), and an updated bathroom. The layout gives clear living and sleeping separation — ground-floor entrance and utility, first-floor living and kitchen, and two bedrooms on the top floor.
Buyers should factor in clear weaknesses: the EPC rating is G, heating relies on room heaters plus mains gas, cavity walls likely lack insulation, and many internal finishes are dated and will need updating. The maisonette sits above mixed-use commercial premises on a busy High Street and the local crime level is recorded as high, which may affect security and insurance costs.
This property suits a practical first-time buyer who values location and low entry cost, or an investor willing to improve energy performance and decor to increase rental income. Viewing is recommended to assess layout, condition and the potential of the courtyard space.
