Low running costs and a long lease in a well-connected Basingstoke location.
Ground-floor maisonette with private front and rear gardens
Light and practical, this two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers single-level living with private front and rear gardens. The living room is bright and spacious, while the kitchen provides ample storage and worktop space for everyday cooking. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom complete the accommodation, making the layout uncluttered and easy to maintain.
The property sits in a convenient Basingstoke location close to local shops, schools rated Good, and frequent transport links — useful for commuters and families. Broadband speeds are fast and council tax is described as cheap, supporting low running costs. The build dates from the mid-20th century and the home benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical ownership is straightforward: the flat is leasehold with 937 years remaining, a low annual service charge of £340 (buildings insurance) and a nominal ground rent of £10 per year. These terms make the property suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers seeking easy maintenance, or investors looking for a long lease and modest overheads.
Notable cautions are factual: the area records higher crime levels than average, and mobile signal is only average. The maisonette is an average overall size (761 sq ft) and reflects its mid-20th-century origins — there may be scope for cosmetic updating to match modern tastes. Buyers should budget for any personalisation or refurbishment they wish to undertake.
