Compact, well-located home with parking and communal gardens.
One double bedroom maisonette, first-floor layout
A compact one-bedroom first-floor maisonette in the heart of Whitchurch village, ideal for a first-time buyer, commuter or investor seeking a low-maintenance base. The living/dining room receives good natural light from a large window; the double bedroom offers a built-in sliding wardrobe. Residents benefit from communal gardens and off-street parking, plus easy walking access to shops, cafes and public transport links.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (approx. 135 years remaining) and a below-average service charge of around £460 per year. Council tax is described as affordable. The apartment is best suited to buyers who prioritise location and simplicity over space — overall size is small (approx. 425 sq ft) and the layout is traditional.
There are a few material points to note. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect energy costs and comfort. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The local area shows higher levels of deprivation, even though crime is low and local amenities are plentiful.
This property presents straightforward potential: live-in buyers can move in with minimal alteration, while investors or buyers wanting to add value could consider insulation and heating upgrades. Buyers should verify lease length, service charge and any other running costs with their solicitor before proceeding.
