Two bedroom modern maisonette, 667 sq ft, open-plan living
This bright two-bedroom maisonette on Conway Road is a sensible, low-maintenance choice for a first-time buyer or young couple. Set in a 1980s two-storey block, the property offers neutral decor throughout, an open-plan living area and a modern-style bathroom—ready to move into with scope for cosmetic updates to personalise. The maisonette provides practical benefits including off-street parking, a shared rear garden with artificial grass and a storage shed, and an American-style fridge-freezer included.
Practical running costs are straightforward: council tax is low, the long lease (963 years remaining) and small ground rent (£30) reduce long-term ownership friction. The home is electrically heated via storage heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel; double glazing is present though installation date is unknown. EPC rating D signals average energy performance and potential to improve with targeted upgrades.
Location is a key plus: local shops and amenities are close by, Beechwood Park is within walking distance, and public transport links and major roads offer easy commuting. Be realistic about the wider context—the area is classified as very deprived with a hampered neighbourhood profile and average crime levels—so buyers should weigh local social factors alongside the property’s affordability and potential.
Overall, this maisonette is a practical entry-level home with sensible holding costs and immediate usability. It will suit buyers seeking an affordable, well-located flat to live in now and improve over time, or investors targeting rental demand in a city-area location.
