This freehold block on Bessingby Road comprises two self-contained flats: a ground-floor one-bedroom and a spacious two-bedroom maisonette above. At about 1,571 sq ft overall, the layout supports owner-occupation with rental income, multi-generational living or a straight investment let. Both units are described as well maintained and ready to occupy, with gas combi boilers and UPVC double glazing throughout.
Location is a practical selling point: the south foreshore is roughly three-quarters of a mile away, local shops, a supermarket and the railway station are within easy reach. The property has a small forecourt that can be used for parking and a fenced rear yard with gated bin storage. Council Tax band A and off-street parking increase affordability for tenants or an owner-occupier.
Buyers should weigh clear risks alongside the positives. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels; this can affect rental demand, security measures and long-term capital growth. The building is Victorian with period features — attractive character but likely to require ongoing maintenance. A full survey is recommended as services, wiring and appliances have not been independently tested.
For investors the dual-flat setup offers straightforward income diversification from two lets or a live-and-let arrangement. For a purchaser seeking a family home the maisonette provides generous living space while the ground floor flat could house relatives or generate income. Factor in potential refurbishment or enhanced security spend to maximise returns given the neighbourhood profile.
