Set on a quiet Maybank Road terrace, this chain-free ground-floor maisonette pairs private outdoor space with direct access to South Woodford station and local shops. The layout gives a bright open-plan living room and kitchen that opens onto a rear garden, plus a private garage reached via the garden gate — a rare combination close to Central Line transport.
The property is well suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable, low-cost council tax home with good broadband and excellent mobile signal. The bedroom is spacious with fitted wardrobes; the bathroom includes an airing cupboard. With 484 sq ft, the accommodation is compact but efficiently arranged for everyday living.
Built circa 1900–1929 of solid brick, the maisonette benefits from double glazing (install date unknown) and mains gas central heating. There is potential to improve energy performance — walls are assumed uninsulated — so buyers interested in lowering running costs should factor retrofit or insulation work into plans. The long lease (139 years) and chain-free status simplify purchase.
Notable positives are the private front and back gardens, secure garage, and immediate access to South Woodford’s schools, shops and Central Line. Downsides include the modest internal floor area, the property’s period solid-wall construction (likely requiring insulation upgrades), and the single-bedroom layout which may limit resale to a narrower buyer pool.
