This chain-free one-bedroom upper maisonette on Marsh Road is a compact, commuter-friendly home offered with an allocated off-street parking space. At about 381 sq ft, the open-plan living/kitchen suits a single professional, first-time buyer, or landlord seeking an easy-to-manage rental. Leagrave station is within walking distance, giving direct Thameslink and regional rail links for frequent travellers.
The property is presented in generally good order with modern kitchen fittings and double glazing installed after 2002. Main heating is gas-fired boiler with radiators. There is clear potential to increase value by improving thermal performance (external walls are cavity as-built with no added insulation assumed) and by cosmetic updating where preferred.
Important practical points: the maisonette is leasehold, in a high-crime and relatively deprived local area, and the overall footprint is small. Council tax band is not confirmed. For buyers wanting more space or a larger rental return, there is an opportunity to purchase the ground-floor and first-floor maisonettes together as separate dwellings.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located small home that delivers strong commuter convenience and a parking benefit, but buyers should factor in the leasehold status, neighbourhood crime levels, and potential insulation or refurbishment costs.
