This compact first-floor maisonette is a straightforward entry point to homeownership or a buy-to-let, with recent renovations that reduce immediate upkeep. The refitted kitchen and bathroom give the flat a modern finish, and gas central heating provides reliable warmth. The living space is modest but well presented.
A large main bedroom with built-in storage and a separate lounge/diner (currently used as a bedroom) gives flexibility for different occupants. Outside space includes a private rear garden and a small balcony accessed from the shared external walkway — useful for fresh air and a seating spot.
Practical lease details and running costs are clear: a remaining lease of 87 years, service charge currently £500, and low ground rent of £20. Council tax is very cheap. Buyers should note the building and local area are in a more deprived neighbourhood which may affect long-term capital growth and resale demand.
The block is traditional brick construction with external access via a shared balcony; this means some communal maintenance responsibilities and less privacy at the entrance. The garden appears overgrown and would benefit from landscaping to unlock its full potential.
