This split-level ground-floor maisonette blends period character with practical, low-maintenance living—ideal for first-time buyers seeking space and excellent transport links. The property offers two double bedrooms upstairs, a welcoming lounge with a fireplace, and a compact kitchen and bathroom, laid out over generous 679 sq ft. Allocated off-street parking to the rear is a useful bonus in this busy area.
Recent updates include double glazing and a newly replaced roof, reducing short-term maintenance costs. The long lease (979 years) and modest service charge (£25) make this an accessible leasehold purchase. The maisonette sits within walking distance of Caterham station and local shops, with fast broadband and very good mobile signal—convenient for commuters and home workers.
Buyers should note material considerations: the local area records higher-than-average crime levels, and the property’s cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may mean future energy-improvement work. There is a single bathroom serving two bedrooms, and as a Victorian mid-terrace building some original elements may need sympathetic upkeep.
Nearby schooling options range from outstanding-rated primary provision to well-regarded independent schools, and local amenities include shops, cafés, and regular public transport links. Overall, this maisonette represents an affordable, characterful entry into the Caterham market for buyers who value location and scope to personalise.
