Step into a well-presented ground-floor maisonette with a larger-than-average south-facing private garden and insulated summer house/studio — a rare outdoor plus for a one-bedroom property. The layout is traditional and compact, with a dual-aspect living room opening via French doors to the garden, a modern fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, and a fully tiled bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and gas central heating add everyday convenience.
Practical long-term ownership is supported by an extended lease: on completion the lease will be assigned with 177 years remaining and a fixed annual ground rent of £250. There are no service charges, and the property sits in a quiet, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — suitable for home working or a rental let.
This maisonette will appeal to first-time buyers looking for a manageable home with outdoor space, and to buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance asset in a well-connected suburb. The property is offered with a 'closed chain' above, which may suit buyers able to move within the same chain or purchase as an investment.
Important considerations: the overall interior size is small (around 423 sq ft), so storage and living space are limited compared with larger flats or houses. Prospective buyers should factor in the fixed ground rent and confirm any future intentions for maintenance of communal parts with relevant documents. The property is in good condition but, as with any older building, buyers may wish to budget for normal ongoing maintenance and possible cosmetic updates.
