This spacious two double-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers roomy living with practical extras: private driveway, generous rear garden and a large loft. The flat is chain free and presented in neutral, well-maintained condition with full double glazing and an updated combi boiler, making it move-in ready for many buyers.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, a sizeable lounge/diner, a well-proportioned kitchen and good local transport links to the A13, A130 and A127. Council Tax Band A and an EPC rating of C help keep running costs reasonable. The property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward accommodation in a major town location.
Important drawbacks are factual and should guide buyer due diligence: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining and a service charge of approximately £1,140 per year (around £95 per month). The area records higher crime levels and notable deprivation, and the neighbourhood classification suggests some local limitations. There is a single family bathroom and the lease length may affect mortgage options and future valuation, so check lender criteria and consider options to extend the lease.
