This recently refurbished two-bedroom maisonette sits in a Victorian terrace near Buxton town centre, newly decorated with fresh carpets and an upgraded combination boiler (installed Feb 2025). The open-plan lounge/kitchen provides a bright, compact living space with a front bay window and rear views across Buxton. A flagged private patio offers outdoor space rarely found at this price.
Practical running costs are attractive: very low council tax, nominal ground rent, and a below-average service charge. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, mostly UPVC sealed-unit double glazing and fast mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for home working or streaming.
Buyers should note the flat is small (about 400 sq ft) and set in an area classed as deprived with higher local crime statistics; the neighbourhood profile is more working‑class and suited to practical, budget-focused owners. The building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, and some glazing dates from before 2002 — further insulation improvements could be considered.
Leasehold terms are long (981 years remaining), removing typical short-lease complications. This is a sensible option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry property in Buxton, but those wanting spacious rooms or a quiet, suburban setting may prefer to look elsewhere.
