A spacious four-bedroom maisonette arranged over two levels, offering solid period character and practical living space for first-time buyers or investors. The property features a well-proportioned dining kitchen, a comfortable lounge with a focal fireplace and attractive flooring, plus two bathrooms including an en-suite. Council Tax Band A and an EPC rating of C help keep running costs low. The lease is long (circa 959 years), so tenure is not a material short-term constraint.
The building dates from c.1900–1929 and retains solid-brick construction and period features, with double glazing fitted post-2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Although presented well internally, the walls are assumed uninsulated in places — buyers should consider insulation improvements and potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Overall size is described as small (total 668 sqft) so rooms are well-laid out but compact compared with larger family homes.
Situated near Saltwell Park and local shops, the maisonette benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and access to a mix of schooling options. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with an urban cultural mix; this brings strong rental demand from private renters and new arrivals, but also some local social challenges to be aware of. Suitable for first-time buyers wanting space and character on a budget, or investors targeting lettings in a major conurbation.
