Long lease, communal gardens and low-maintenance living in Carshalton.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, approx. 549 sq ft
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Forelle Way offers a practical first home or buy-to-let in Carshalton. The layout is compact and functional across approximately 549 sq ft, with a bright reception room and a double bedroom. Residents benefit from direct access to well-kept communal gardens, double glazing and mains gas central heating, providing comfort and low running fuss.
The property sits in a modern, semi-detached development built after 2012, with a long lease (987 years) that removes common leasehold pressure. Annual service charge (£1,250) and ground rent (£140) are moderate but should be factored into monthly costs. Council Tax Band C and an EPC rating of C indicate reasonable running costs; broadband speeds are currently slow in the area.
Its location suits first-time buyers and investors: local shops, bus links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, and green spaces give the development a suburban feel while remaining in a major conurbation. There is no flood risk recorded and crime is average for the area.
Consider this flat if you prioritise a low-maintenance, long-lease home with outside space and easy access to neighbourhood amenities. If high-speed internet is essential, expect to investigate alternatives or upgrades before moving in.
