Set on the first floor of a Victorian mid-terrace, this two-double-bedroom purpose-built maisonette combines period character with a modern kitchen and a private rear garden. The large lounge/diner gives flexible living space for a couple, small family or first-time buyers seeking outdoor space without ground-floor upkeep. Transport links are strong — Colliers Wood Underground and local buses are a short walk away.
Practical running costs are straightforward: a low service charge (£288 pa), modest ground rent (£100 pa) and affordable council tax band. The property is leasehold with approximately 95 years remaining; buyers should consider lease length when arranging finance. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, and windows are double glazed (installation date unknown).
Notable negatives are clear: the area records higher crime levels than average, and the building’s solid-brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, which could affect thermal efficiency and heating bills. There is one bathroom serving two double bedrooms. Prospective purchasers should note the building insurance cost of £560 pa and check appliance and system operation at survey stage.
This maisonette suits first-time buyers wanting a roomy, characterful home with private outdoor space and excellent transport and local amenities. It also offers straightforward scope for energy-improvement works and cosmetic updating to increase comfort and future resale value.
