Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with allocated off-street parking. The layout includes a front lounge, separate kitchen with adjacent utility area, two modest bedrooms and a shower room. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place.
The property most clearly suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the area or an investor looking for a compact buy-to-let. Room sizes are small-to-average (total about 625 sq ft) so accommodation is best for singles, couples or rental occupancy. Local amenities, good bus links and motorway access (M5/M6) add practical commuting advantages.
There are some material points to note: the flat is leasehold with 87 years remaining and a high ground rent of £792 per year, which will affect mortgage options and running costs. The interior and building date from the late 1970s/early 1980s and the property is described as dated in places — cosmetic updating and some refurbishment would improve comfort and rental value.
On the positive side, council tax is very cheap and there is no flood risk. The communal setting with a small lawn and allocated parking keeps maintenance chores limited. For buyers who prioritise location, affordability and straightforward management over generous internal space, this maisonette represents a practical, well-located option.
