This three-bedroom maisonette on Kensington Place offers clear value for first-time buyers and investors seeking space in central Norwich. Bedrooms are all good doubles and the separate reception room provides flexible living; a private garden adds rare outdoor space for the area. The kitchen is bright and well laid out, and the property benefits from fast broadband and excellent public transport links.
The building dates from the late 1970s and shows signs of external and internal wear: the front exterior appears unkempt and the interior is best described as a fixer-upper. The walls are solid brick with partial insulation assumed; the EPC is D, and some modernization—possibly including heating and insulation improvements—would improve comfort and long-term running costs.
Important sale details affect buyers: the property is leasehold (125 years from 11 May 1998), is being sold by online auction, and carries buyer fees of £6,600 (including VAT) plus a £396 legal pack fee. These non-refundable fees and the lease length may affect mortgage availability and overall purchase costs — check the legal pack and lender position before committing.
For buyers prepared to modernise, this maisonette delivers space, location and rental potential in NR1 with very cheap council tax banding. Early due diligence and viewing are recommended to assess renovation scope and financing options under the auction process.
