Description

Situated on the borders of Bexley and Bexleyheath, this ground-floor maisonette presents a unique renovation opportunity for cash buyers looking to invest in property potential. With two bedrooms and a layout that includes a lounge, kitchen, and bathroom, the home is primed for modernization, allowing future owners to tailor the space according to their vision. The property currently has a lease term of 33 years, with an approximate extension cost of £93,000. This aspect provides an avenue for significant value addition through both lease extension and interior upgrades. Given the existing condition of the home, it offers a blank canvas for buyers who are willing to undertake refurbishment. Externally, residents will benefit from access to a garden space and the possibility of creating off-road parking (subject to relevant permissions), further enhancing its appeal as an investment property. Notably, this maisonette comes with no forward chain, simplifying the acquisition process for interested buyers. The surrounding area enriches the property's investment potential significantly. Bexley Village boasts a charming High Street that retains its independent character with unique shops, family-owned restaurants, pubs, and easy access to a mainline train station. The locality is also known for its educational facilities, including two prominent grammar schools and well-regarded primary schools—an important consideration for families moving into the area. Additionally, Hall Place—a Grade I listed Tudor mansion—is just a stone's throw away and serves as a cultural hub with regular events, contributing further to the community atmosphere. This combination of location benefits and renovation scope positions this maisonette as an intriguing prospect for investors or those eager to create their ideal home in a vibrant neighborhood.
