This one-bedroom maisonette combines Victorian character with practical modern updates, making it a compact, ready-to-live-in home for a first-time buyer or couple. The reception room and bedroom keep period fireplaces and neutral flooring, while the bathroom has a contemporary, marble-effect finish. The flat is share of freehold and includes a private share of garden — a rare outside space for a property of this size.
At about 445 sq ft, the layout is efficient: a bright reception room leads through an arched opening to a well-equipped kitchen with direct garden access. The garden (approx. 40'8 x 18'1) offers useful storage in a large shed and room for pots or a small seating area. Council tax is described as cheap and the area benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good transport links into central London.
Important facts to note: the building dates from 1895 and has solid brick walls with no known wall insulation, which may mean higher heating costs or future retrofit work. The property sits in a major conurbation with a very high local crime level and a medium flooding risk — both material considerations for buyers. The plot is small and upkeep of a period building can require occasional maintenance.
Overall, this maisonette is well suited to someone seeking a characterful, compact home with outdoor space and easy commuting. It offers secure tenure (share of freehold) and immediate move-in potential, while also presenting straightforward improvement opportunities such as insulation upgrades and garden landscaping to add value and comfort.
