Set on a desirable tree-lined road in Surbiton, this upper ground-floor one-bedroom conversion occupies a generous footprint within a grand Victorian house. The reception room is a standout: a wide bay window, original shutters, decorative cornice and a marble fireplace create immediate period character and abundant natural light. The kitchen is contemporary and efficient, with integrated appliances and a small loft store.
Practical benefits include a private parking space to the rear, a front garden, bike store, gas central heating and fast broadband — useful for commuting and working from home. The property is sold with a Share of Freehold and a new lease in excess of 900 years, giving long-term security and low ground-rent concerns.
Buyers should note the service charge is approximately £1,912 per year. The building’s solid brick construction (typical of its 1900–1929 build) means walls may lack cavity insulation; budget-minded buyers should consider potential improvement costs to enhance thermal efficiency. Council tax is low (Band B) and there is no flood risk.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or professional seeking strong local transport links, good schools and the character of a period home without the scale and running costs of a full house. The immediate area offers shops, cafes, pubs and the Thames within an easy walk, making it a convenient, characterful base in an affluent, well-connected part of Surbiton.
