This split-level maisonette sits over two floors in a Georgian mid-terrace and offers a rare combination of period character and contemporary living. The lower-ground open-plan kitchen/dining/living area benefits from double-height ceilings and a lightwell, while a spiral staircase and glass balustrade add visual drama. Two double bedrooms both have en-suite facilities; the upper bedroom opens to a Juliet balcony and the lower to a private paved courtyard garden.
Practical points that matter: the property is leasehold with 101 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,156 and a small ground rent of £100. It is presented in good condition and sold with no forward chain, making it straightforward to buy, but the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of its age) so consider heating and insulation costs. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan student and professional area with excellent transport links and fast broadband, but local crime levels are higher than average.
This layout suits a first-time buyer wanting stylish town-centre living or a landlord seeking a strong buy-to-let near the university. The compact, well-equipped kitchen and two en-suites support immediate rental income, while the courtyard garden and high ceilings lend lasting appeal. Spiral stairs and split levels create character but may limit suitability for people requiring step-free access.
Overall, the maisonette offers a considered mix of period features and modern fittings, convenient city living and investment potential. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges, check insulation and heating efficiency, and factor the leasehold existence into mortgage or purchase plans.
