This well-presented ground-floor maisonette offers a compact, move-in-ready home ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The apartment benefits from a refitted kitchen and bathroom, double-glazed windows and an allocated parking space — practical features that reduce immediate maintenance costs.
At about 366 sq ft, the living space is small but efficiently arranged with a bay-fronted living room and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The property is chain-free and positioned within the Beansheaf area of Calcot, close to local shops, bus links and the M4, making it a sensible choice for commuters.
Important practical points: heating is electric via room heaters, walls are cavity-built with no insulation assumed, and the tenure is leasehold with approximately 114 years remaining and a ground rent quoted at £350 per year. Outdoor space is limited to a small forecourt and a modest grassed area.
Overall, this maisonette suits a buyer seeking a low-upfront, easy-to-manage starter home or a straightforward rental unit. The location, recent refurbishments and parking are strong positives, while the small size, electric heating and leasehold charges are material considerations.
