1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free central flat with parking and communal garden, ideal for first buyers or landlords.
One-bedroom character maisonette in converted Victorian Oast House
A compact, characterful 1-bedroom maisonette in the heart of Uckfield, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The property sits within a converted Victorian Oast House and retains period features such as exposed beams, timber cladding and exposed brickwork that give a strong sense of character and charm. Its central location places shops, restaurants and the mainline station within easy walking distance.
Practical positives include gas central heating, double glazing, off-street parking and access to a communal garden. The layout works well for a single occupant or couple: bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen/diner with a sitting area arranged over two levels. The lease is long (147 years remaining), annual ground rent is low (£100) and service charge is modest (£500), making it straightforward for buyers or landlords to budget.
There are some clear areas to note. The kitchen is dated and would benefit from modernization to suit contemporary tastes or to lift rental value. The building’s upper timber framing is recorded as having no insulation (assumed), which may affect running costs and could require investment. EPC rating D reflects average efficiency. External space is communal rather than private and the footprint is compact — appropriate for town-centre living but limiting if you need larger accommodation or garden privacy.
For first-time buyers the maisonette offers a manageable, central home with low ongoing charges and good transport links. For investors the stated rental potential of around £925 pcm presents achievable yield, subject to refurbishment costs and market conditions. The property is best suited to buyers who value character and location over generous private outdoor space and who are prepared to update interiors where desired.
