This first-floor one-bedroom maisonette offers an economical entry into Carshalton living, with a private rear garden and bright, spacious rooms throughout. The modern fitted kitchen and shower room make it move-in ready for a buyer seeking a manageable home or a straightforward rental investment.
Set in a commuter-friendly area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime, the flat suits professionals and first-time buyers who need good links and nearby schools. Room sizes are practical for the footprint: lounge (13'9 x 11'11), kitchen (12'2 x 9'2) and a double bedroom (11'11 x 10'1).
The property is leasehold (115 years remaining) with a modest service charge of £900 and a low ground rent of £10. The overall size is small (approximately 396 sq ft), so prospective buyers should be comfortable with compact living. Buyers should verify lease details and any building consents with their solicitor.
There is clear potential to personalise and improve the space to increase comfort or rental yield, but the maisonette is not suitable for those needing large living areas. Its straightforward layout, modern utilities (mains gas heating, double glazing) and private garden make it an attractive, low-maintenance starter home or buy-to-let opportunity.
