This modern two-bedroom duplex in Stoke-on-Trent offers a compact, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let opportunity close to transport and local amenities. The first-floor open-plan living/kitchen with a Juliette balcony provides good natural light and practical living space for city-centre life. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place for straightforward running.
Practical costs and tenure are clear: the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining, a modest ground rent of £135 per year and a service charge of approximately £3,660 per year (£305 pcm). Council tax sits in band A, keeping local running costs low. Allocated off-street parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity add everyday convenience.
Rooms are described as small-to-medium, so this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the market, or an investor wanting a centrally located rental with low internal maintenance. Note the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with an urban cultural mix; this affects long-term desirability for some buyers and may influence rental demand.
Practical cautions: accommodation is compact and likely better for those who don’t need large bedrooms or extensive living space. There is an indication the site lies within 1 km of a coalfield or mining area — buyers should consider an appropriate survey and searches. Be clear on the service charge level and leasehold implications before proceeding.
