A top-floor two-double-bedroom maisonette with its own external entrance, offered chain-free and ready for a sympathetic refurbishment. The apartment sits in a small block of four and benefits from an off-street driveway, single garage and a low-maintenance rear yard—practical assets for occupiers or lettors.
The flat requires comprehensive modernisation: dated electric room heaters, older kitchen and bathroom fittings and general redecoration throughout. The EPC is a current Band C and double glazing has been fitted, so some energy improvements are already in place, though further work would improve comfort and running costs.
The property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, so buyers should factor lease length and associated costs into purchase plans. It’s conveniently located near the town centre, local schools and the mainline station, making it suitable for first-time buyers, small families or investors seeking a value-add project in a well-connected town.
Notable positives are the private entrance, driveway parking, garage and cheap council tax band; notable drawbacks are the short-ish lease for long-term investors, very high local crime levels and the need for full renovation. Viewings are recommended for those planning to refurbish or rent the property out after improvement works.
