Tucked within the North Stonehouse conservation area, this two-storey ground & first-floor maisonette offers a compact, well-located one-bedroom home ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The property sits close to the city centre, the Hoe and waterfront, giving easy access to shops, transport and local amenities. A private low-maintenance rear garden and rear service-lane access add usable outdoor space rare for central flats.
Internally the layout is practical: living room and kitchen on the ground floor, with a double bedroom and a bathroom that includes both a bath and separate shower cubicle upstairs. The flat benefits from mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators and comes with current safety certificates in place. The long lease (982 years) and low ground rent (£50) are positive financial points for buyers.
Buyers should note the property is compact (approx. 403 sq ft), with low ceilings in parts and limited internal space — it will suit a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor rather than someone needing generous rooms. The EPC is Grade D and the building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, so further energy improvements may be needed to lower running costs.
Location factors: the area is a mix of young families and students in an otherwise very deprived neighbourhood with higher crime levels; this affects rental demand and resale considerations. The exterior and communal hallways are currently being decorated, which may be disruptive during a short period. No onward chain simplifies purchase timing, but prospective buyers should view to judge internal condition and layout for themselves.
