Summary - 11 VELLUM DRIVE CARSHALTON SM5 2TL
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact 1-bed maisonette with parking and long lease, ideal for first-time buyers.
950+ year lease, long-term security
A rare ground-floor 1-bedroom maisonette offering excellent entry-level value in Carshalton. The property has a very long 950+ year lease, its own courtyard front garden and an allocated off-street parking space — practical extras often scarce at this price. The living room opens to a semi open-plan kitchen with included white goods, while the double bedroom and shower room provide a straightforward, low-complexity layout.
This is a compact home (approximately 366 sq ft) suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a lettable, low-maintenance property close to Carshalton and Hackbridge stations. The maisonette benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of D; heating is electric room heaters, so running costs will be higher than gas-heated homes and should be factored into budgets.
There is currently no ground rent or standing service charge; the owner reports costs are paid as-and-when work is required. That can reduce regular bills but means you should confirm how major works would be handled and budget for occasional lump-sum contributions. The property is offered with no onward chain, allowing a quicker completion for buyers ready to move.
In short: a compact, well-located starter home or buy-to-let with secure parking and long lease security. Practical buyers should allow for the limitations of electric heating, small internal space, and confirm responsibilities for future communal or building works.
