Affordable first-floor maisonette with long lease, parking and low running costs.
Long lease (999 years from 1939) with peppercorn ground rent
A bright one-bedroom first-floor maisonette in a well-connected LS15 neighbourhood, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low running costs and straightforward ownership. The property sits on a long lease (999 years from 1939, c.914 years remaining) with a peppercorn ground rent and no service charge, so ongoing outgoings are minimal. Council Tax band A makes this a very cheap home to run.
Internally the layout is practical: a spacious living room, fitted kitchen with black tiled splashback, large double bedroom and a white three-piece bathroom. The home benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators; the building dates from the 1930s–1940s and presents as an average-sized, well-presented apartment of around 458 sq ft.
Outside there is an off-street parking space to the front and a garden area. The location offers strong commuter links — Cross Gates station, the A6120 and M1 are close by — plus local shops, leisure facilities and green space at Temple Newsam. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, adding appeal for long-term owners or tenants.
Notable points to check at viewing: the double glazing installation date is unspecified and the heating and other services have not been independently tested. As a first-floor maisonette you should consider access via internal stairs when assessing mobility needs. Overall, this is an affordable, low-maintenance entry into the property market with clear letting or owner-occupier potential.
