Bright two-bedroom first-floor maisonette with a private garden and a long lease (182 years) — a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a spacious reception room, fitted kitchen, modern bathroom and a downstairs cloakroom. Double glazing and gas central heating provide basic efficiency and comfort.
The property sits in a major conurbation with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it convenient for commuting and renting. Nearby primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings, and local amenities and bus links are within easy reach. The overall footprint is average for a maisonette (approx. 753 sq ft).
Buyers should note the wider area faces higher crime levels and relative deprivation; this may affect resale or rental demand and should be considered when valuing the purchase. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so some elements may be approaching the end of their expected life and could benefit from updating.
Financially it is straightforward: leasehold with 182 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £10, and a below-average service charge of £878 per year. For investors, the long lease and low running charges are positives; for owner-occupiers, the garden and generous reception room offer comfortable living with potential to personalise and modernise.
