This chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace maisonette offers straightforward entry into Stantonbury with 101 years remaining on the lease. The layout delivers two double bedrooms, a lounge/diner, kitchen, family bathroom and a garage — practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking rental income or refurbishment potential.
The property is functional but dated: electric room heaters, assumed uninsulated cavity walls and visible external paint peeling indicate energy and maintenance work will be needed. Internal photos and exterior images suggest some damp risk areas and general decorative updating rather than structural overhaul; buyers should budget for modern heating, insulation and cosmetic refurbishment.
Location is a strong selling point. Close to Milton Keynes Central, the shopping centre, M1 access and local train links, the home benefits from excellent transport and nearby leisure facilities, parkland and schools. Parking and external storage are useful extras for families or commuters.
This is a practical purchase for a buyer who accepts straightforward improvement costs in exchange for a low purchase price, off-road parking and a garage. Important negatives — high local crime rates, deprived area indicators and the property’s basic electric heating and likely poor thermal performance — should be weighed against the low council tax and convenient transport links.
