This compact first-floor maisonette offers a bright, well-presented living space ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry to Petts Wood. The apartment includes an open-plan kitchen-lounge, two bedrooms and a newly installed bathroom, all arranged within a modest 474 sq ft footprint. Natural light reaches principal rooms and the property benefits from a long, westerly-aspect private garden for outdoor living.
Practical points suit everyday life: the lease has about 120 years remaining, ground rent is modest at £200, and the property sits in Council Tax Band C. Central Petts Wood is within easy reach and local schools have strong Ofsted ratings, making the location attractive to young families and commuters. Mobile signal and broadband are good and crime levels are very low.
Buyers should note the maisonette’s small internal area and some external upkeep is needed. The exterior shows pebble-dash/brick that would benefit from modernisation and there are visible signs that suggest potential damp or maintenance issues to inspect. There is no private driveway or garage, so parking will rely on local provision.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase: a well-presented, small maisonette with a generous rear garden and sensible lease terms. It will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a manageable home near Petts Wood station and to investors seeking a straightforward rental in a very affluent neighbourhood, provided they allow for some external repairs and routine maintenance.
