This split-level two-bedroom maisonette is offered chain-free and priced for buyers prepared to refurbish. Set over three storeys, the property provides compact living rooms, a narrow kitchen and two bedrooms — all in need of a full internal upgrade. Windows are double glazed and heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators already in place.
The lease has about 79 years remaining and is advertised as leasehold; mortgage lenders may refuse lending or require a specialist lender because of the short lease term. Ground rent appears nominal (£10), council tax is very low and there is no flooding risk — useful practical benefits when planning costs. Broadband and mobile signal are strong locally.
This will suit a first-time buyer willing to tackle renovation, or an investor seeking a value-add rental opportunity. Allow a refurbishment budget for kitchen, bathroom, decoration and likely mechanical/electrical works, and arrange a full survey and lease advisory checks before exchange. The small rear yard and modest footprint mean limited outdoor space but low maintenance once upgraded.
