Step into an affordable ground-floor maisonette in Freshwater, offered chain free and well suited to a first-time buyer or someone downsizing.

Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, a very long lease (959 years) and low council tax. The location is a real draw: the High Street is within touching distance for shops and services, and coastal walks at Colwell and Totland Bay are close by. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are excellent, making the home suitable for remote working.
The property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and shows some age: double glazing was fitted before 2002 and interiors are dated in places, so modest updating would improve comfort and value. Service charge is £760 per year. The wider area is classified as having higher deprivation and average crime levels; buyers should weigh local social factors alongside the property’s affordability.
Overall this maisonette offers a low-cost entry to Isle of Wight living: compact and practical, with outdoor space, parking and strong transport/connectivity for its price point. It suits purchasers seeking a straightforward first home or a small-scale rental investment.
