Ideal for commuters: walking distance to town centre and mainline station
This chain-free, ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a practical, low-maintenance home within easy walking distance of Stevenage town centre and the mainline station. The open-plan lounge, dining and modern kitchen create a bright daily living space with direct access to a good-sized private rear garden and a useful garage for parking or storage. Underfloor heating throughout adds comfort and helps reduce running costs.
At about 627 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers, commuters or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward accommodation close to transport links and local amenities. The property comes with a new 990-year lease and a 50% share of the freehold, with no service charge or ground rent to pay, which simplifies ongoing ownership costs.
Be realistic about the local context: the area is classified as deprived with above-average crime statistics. The maisonette itself is modest in footprint and sits in an urban, mixed neighbourhood — buyers seeking quiet, rural seclusion should look elsewhere. The accommodation is presented in a modern, move-in-ready condition, but the compact size means limited storage and living space compared with larger family homes.
Overall this is a practical, well-located purchase for a buyer prioritising transport links, low running costs and outdoor space. Investors will value the long lease and share-of-freehold arrangement; first-time buyers will appreciate the chain-free sale and straightforward, contemporary finish.
