A well-proportioned one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offering straightforward living and strong rental potential in B25. The layout includes a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom, plus the unusual benefit of off-street parking for two cars and a private low-maintenance rear garden. With 101 years remaining on the lease and modest annual charges, the property suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable home or investors targeting a predicted rent of around £750 PCM.
The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and retains period character such as a bay window and a fireplace in the lounge. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators, and windows are double-glazed (installation date unknown). The maisonette is set close to Heartlands Hospital, local shops, and good transport links – practical for commuters, hospital staff, or tenants.
Buyers should note clear practical downsides: the wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect running costs and require improvement. Service charge and ground rent are low, but the tenure is leasehold (101 years remaining), so prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on lease terms.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, affordable option with immediate rental or owner-occupier appeal and scope for modest investment to improve energy efficiency and interior finish. An internal viewing will confirm condition and layout suitability for your needs.
