We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A rare opportunity – large ground floor two double bedroom maisonette with private garden & parking – chain free - no service charge – peppercorn ground rent – just off knebworth high street – walking distance to the train station.
An unusually spacious ground floor maisonette offering two genuine double bedrooms, a large private garden and parking, ideally positioned just moments from Knebworth High Street with its excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.
Knebworth train station is also within easy walking distance, providing direct rail connections to London.
With no service charge to pay and only a peppercorn ground rent, this is a particularly appealing opportunity and one that rarely comes to the market. Energy Rating C.
Welcome To London Road The property is set back from the road behind an attractive hedgerow, creating a good degree of privacy from the outset.
Access is to the side of the building via a private footpath leading to the front door. The entrance hallway provides useful built-in storage and leads to the principal accommodation.
There are two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a particularly pretty bay window overlooking the front.
The bathroom is also positioned off the hallway and features a white three-piece suite, with a window providing natural light and useful ventilation.
The main living room is a particularly good size and benefits from French doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a lovely connection between the living space and the outside.
The separate kitchen is also generously proportioned and fitted with a superb range of Shaker-style units, with space for appliances, a side aspect window and a door providing direct access to the garden.
Tour The Grounds The garden is a real highlight of the property and offers a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity.
Well established and thoughtfully planted, it incorporates a patio area adjoining the property, a central lawn and a raised decking area towards the far end, providing a variety of spaces to sit, entertain and enjoy the garden throughout the day.
For additional convenience, there are two further pedestrian access points to the front, one either side of the building.
There is also a mutual agreement between the two maisonettes regarding parking, with the parking bay allocated to this property positioned directly to the front, in front of the bay window.
Additional Information The property benefits from a long lease of 999 years from 24th June 1959.
We have been informed that there is an absentee freeholder and there is a peppercorn ground rent of £15 per annum if demanded. There is no service charge applicable.
