A roomy two-bedroom Edwardian maisonette set over two floors, this property feels like a small house thanks to its own front door and private front garden. High ceilings, bay windows and traditional brickwork give genuine period character, while the large open-plan ground floor creates bright living space. At about 1,045 sq ft it’s unusually generous for a starter home and sits in a quiet cul-de-sac yet remains only a short walk from Northdown Road shops, cafés and the beach.
The flat is described as in excellent condition with double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Practical extras include a basement level for storage and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for home working or streaming. Council tax is very low, and there is no flood risk for peace of mind.
Buyers should note important local and building realities. The wider area rates as very deprived with high local crime levels; this may affect resale or rental appeal and should be considered by buyers and mortgage lenders. The walls are the original solid brick with no known insulation, which could mean damp or heating inefficiency unless upgraded. Tenure details require verification — property is listed as freehold but a “new lease” is also referenced, so confirm with your solicitor.
Ideal for first-time buyers seeking space, period charm and proximity to transport and seafront, this maisonette offers strong living potential but also clear improvement points: thermal upgrading and careful consideration of local area factors. Viewing recommended to appreciate the size, layout and garden in person.
