Chain-free commuter home near mainline station, ready for renovation and rental.
Chain-free two-bedroom maisonette with long lease (approx. 984 years)
This chain-free two-bedroom maisonette in Stevenage Old Town is a practical entry-level purchase or buy-to-let with clear potential. The property sits on a long lease (approx. 984 years remaining) and includes an allocated off-street parking space, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and renters.
The layout offers a generous reception room, two bedrooms and a compact kitchen and bathroom across an average-sized 754 sq ft. It is a straightforward canvas for updating: the property needs refurbishment throughout, with electric storage heating and double glazing already in place, but some systems and finishes will require modernising.
Practical considerations are stated up front: service charges are modest (£444pa) and ground rent is peppercorn, but the area records higher crime levels than average and the maisonette is part of an older build (c.1930–49) with renovation required. For buyers seeking immediate rental income or a home to personalise near the station, this presents a cost-effective opportunity close to shops, schools and transport links.
Viewings are recommended for those looking for a budget-friendly commuter home or an investment to refurbish and re-let. The property’s long lease and central Old Town location are genuine strengths, balanced by the need for works and local crime considerations that should be factored into budgeting and plans.
