Well-presented two-bedroom top-floor flat with parking and long lease.
- Top-floor split-level maisonette with open-plan living
Light-filled and well-presented, this top-floor split-level maisonette offers versatile living across an open-plan reception and two double bedrooms. The living area benefits from sloped attic-style ceilings and a dormer window that capture treetop views toward Blaise Woods. The kitchen is fitted with modern gloss units and integrated hob, while the bathroom has both a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower under a skylight.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, mains gas central heating with a modern boiler, double glazing and excellent broadband and mobile signal — useful for home working. The long lease (approx. 944 years) significantly reduces typical leasehold concerns. Local amenities are strong: nearby Durdham Downs, Waitrose, independent shops, popular pubs and a range of highly regarded state and independent schools within walking distance.
Notable points to consider: the building is timber-frame as built and there is assumed lack of wall insulation, which may affect energy efficiency. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as high, and the property is sold leasehold with a current service charge around £100 pcm (£1,200 pa). The split-level/attic layout creates character but also sloped ceilings that limit some headroom in places.
Overall this is a move-in-ready top-floor apartment that will suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors looking for a well-located, characterful home with long lease security, good transport links and reputable nearby schools. Buyers seeking a fully insulated or ground-floor property, or those prioritising maximum ceiling height throughout, should note the building’s construction and layout.
