Chain-free three-bedroom maisonette with garden and garage, close to Stevenage station.
Chain free; freehold included with the building
Chain-free and offered with the building freehold included, this three-bedroom maisonette on Whitesmead Road is a practical purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking immediate proximity to Stevenage town centres and the train station. The property has generous room sizes, a private rear garden and a garage en bloc — real extras that are increasingly rare at this price band.
Internally the layout is straightforward: ground-floor entrance with garden access, a generous lounge/dining room, a fitted kitchen and three double bedrooms on the top floor served by a single family bathroom. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. The large lease term shown (980 years) and the absence of service charges or ground rent reduce running costs and buying complexity.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood classification and local area indicators: the wider area is described as social renting with hampered neighbourhoods and higher deprivation metrics. Crime is recorded as average. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and external cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms.
This home suits a buyer wanting space near transport links and town amenities, or an investor looking for a lettable property with clear cost benefits. A survey is recommended to verify services and condition; additional fees (leasehold packs, conveyancing costs) may apply during purchase.
