This compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat on Maryfield Walk offers a straightforward buy-to-let or starter-home opportunity close to Royal Stoke University Hospital. Recently refurbished, the property includes a modern kitchen and shower room, double glazing and dedicated storage — ready for occupation or continued rental with minimal immediate expense.
A standout for this size and area is the allocated off-street parking space and small private rear garden/patio — both uncommon for flats locally and useful for tenant appeal or personal use. The property is currently let at £675 pcm, providing an income stream on purchase. Ground rent is £118.33 half-yearly and the lease runs from August 2017 with approximately 92 years remaining (100-year lease originally granted).
Buyers should note the flat is very small at about 366 sq ft and is heated by electric storage heaters, which can be expensive to run compared with gas. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. The wider neighbourhood has a very high crime rate and is very deprived, factors that may affect long-term capital growth and tenant sourcing.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance property for investors seeking immediate rental income or first-time buyers wanting a compact, low-cost entry into Stoke. The combination of on-site parking, private outdoor space and proximity to hospital employers strengthens its rental appeal, but purchasers must weigh running costs and local area challenges.
