This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, affordable entry into Bordon with no onward chain and an allocated parking space. Its open-plan living/dining room opens onto a private, enclosed garden, and large windows provide good natural light. The property is currently let at about £1,000 pcm to a long-term tenant who is keen to remain.
Practical features include a generous galley-style kitchen with a utility area, loft storage, garden shed and double glazing. The principal bedroom is over 16ft in length and both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The monthly service charge unusually covers buildings insurance and water costs.
Important negatives are factual: the flat is small (about 325 sq ft), leasehold with 103 years remaining, and there is an average annual service charge of approximately £1,800 plus ground rent of £288. The building is a system-built construction with no known added wall insulation (assumed) and likely benefits from some updating. Local crime levels are above average.
This home suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable, low-maintenance foothold in a town with good road and rail links, or an investor seeking steady rental income. Allow for modest refurbishment and factor service charges and ground rent into running costs when assessing value.
