This bright, two-double-bedroom maisonette is presented move-in ready and aimed squarely at first-time buyers seeking outdoor space and easy commuting. The property sits on a long lease (153 years remaining) with a nominal £1 ground rent and a below-average annual service charge of £873.87. A large private landscaped garden is a rare find at this price point and offers room for socialising, gardening or future extension (subject to consents).
Inside, the accommodation is neutrally decorated with a fully fitted kitchen, laminate flooring in the lounge and a clean three-piece bathroom. UPVC double glazing helps with comfort and noise reduction. Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles with fitted wardrobes; the second currently includes a work-from-home desk area. The maisonette is chain-free, simplifying and speeding up purchase for a first-time buyer.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating and may influence running costs. The property is leasehold, so buyers should factor in the service charge and lease terms when budgeting, even though the lease length and peppercorn ground rent are favourable. There is no material flood risk and broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting hybrid working and streaming.
Location is a key selling point: close to Lakeside Shopping Centre, The Quay and local schools, plus good rail links into London via nearby C2C stations within Oyster Zone. For buyers prioritising outdoor space, convenience and a ready-to-live-in home to personalise, this maisonette provides clear value with straightforward pros and a few manageable compromises.
