This ground-floor, two-bedroom maisonette in Lexden offers a practical, move-in-ready home with clear commuter and local-amenity advantages. Set within a low-crime, very affluent area, the property includes one allocated parking space, access to a communal garden and double glazing fitted after 2002. The size (approx. 646 sq ft) suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking manageable accommodation without extensive work.
Owned on a leasehold basis with a share of the freehold, the flat has a long unexpired lease (982 years) and a below-average service charge of £804 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the mains fuel is electricity — worth noting for households concerned about running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, spacious lounge, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower cubicle.
Location is a strong selling point: popular Lexden position close to local shops, Tollgate Retail Park, good schools (several rated Good–Outstanding) and easy A12 access. There is scope for modest cosmetic updating to personalise the home, but no obvious structural issues are recorded; buyers should commission their own checks. Leasehold-related admin costs (e.g., packs) and ongoing electricity costs are the main considerations to factor into affordability.
