Quiet cul-de-sac home with long lease and no service charges.
Private rear garden backing Woodcock Park
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac and backing Woodcock Park, this two-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers practical family living with genuine outdoor space. The property benefits from its own front door, a private rear garden and a generous double reception — features that are rare at this price level and which make it easy to use as a family home or long-term buy-to-let.
The flat sits in a 1930s semi with solid brick walls and double glazing. It has a long lease (165 years remaining) and no ground rent or service charge, simplifying running costs. The layout is traditional and straightforward: two bedrooms, one bathroom and around 692 sq ft of accommodation — an average-sized home with scope to refresh or modernise.
Buyers should be aware of practical issues: the property shows signs of mid-20th-century fittings and will benefit from modernization to kitchens, bathrooms and decoration. Walls are likely uninsulated (typical of the period), there is a medium flood risk in the area and the single bathroom will suit a small household rather than a larger family. These factors are reflected in the price and present opportunity for cosmetic improvement and value uplift.
Located close to local amenities, bus routes and several well-rated schools, this maisonette suits first-time buyers or small families who want outside space and park access without the maintenance of a full house. Investors will note the long lease and zero service charges, though rental yield will depend on refurbishment level and local demand.
