Summary - 206 PAULET ROAD LONDON SE5 9JF
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Bright two-bedroom maisonette with a large garden and potential share of freehold.
Large private rear garden, low-maintenance shingle seating area
Set across two levels of a handsome Victorian terrace, this chain-free two-bedroom maisonette offers bright living space and a large, low-maintenance rear garden — a rare find in SE5. The raised open-plan reception has high ceilings and a south-facing bay window that floods the space with light; the kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and engineered oak flooring. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, the master with a bay and alcove shelving, and the lower level opens directly onto the private garden with shingle seating and established planting.
Practical running costs are transparent: a 110-year lease remains, ground rent is £400 pa (reviewable) and the service charge is £561.85 pa (buildings insurance and communal costs). The vendor may sell with a share of the freehold depending on offer, which could be advantageous long-term. Transport links are strong — Loughborough Junction (Thameslink) is about 0.6 miles, Denmark Hill around 1.1 miles, and numerous bus routes and Brixton Underground close by.
This maisonette suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a well-presented period conversion with outdoor space and good local schools nearby. The property is solid-brick Victorian construction with double glazing and gas central heating, but buyers should note the building likely has limited wall insulation, and any buyer wanting to retrofit insulation or modern energy upgrades should factor in works and costs.
On balance this is a practical, characterful home in an inner-city setting: generous ceiling heights, private outdoor space and sensible service costs provide clear benefits, while lease length, ground rent review provisions and potential retrofit works are the main points for a prospective buyer to consider and investigate with their solicitor.
