This one-bedroom maisonette offers a practical, low-cost entry into Coventry property ownership or buy-to-let investment. The flat occupies the upper level of a 1950s purpose-built block and includes a double bedroom, reception room, kitchen, bathroom and a small private garden with a storage shed. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, helpful for modern tenants or remote working.
The property presents clear refurbishment potential: the kitchen and internal finishes are dated (1970s–1980s style) and would benefit from modernization. Construction is system-built with assumed no cavity insulation; double glazing appears pre-2002. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. These factors mean buyers should budget for improvements and possible energy-efficiency upgrades.
Important practical facts: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, council tax is very low, and there is no flood risk. The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as hampered with very high deprivation and high crime levels — this will affect both living experience and lettability, and should be weighed carefully by buyers and investors.
Transport and local facilities are practical: the property sits near local amenities, bus routes and motorway links, and several nearby schools have Good Ofsted ratings. For a buyer looking for an affordable project or a straightforward rental, this maisonette offers usable space and immediate occupation potential once updated.
