Set on the Oakfield Estate, this roomy two double-bedroom apartment occupies the third floor and delivers generous living space with plentiful natural light and a private balcony boasting wide, attractive views. The living room, separate dining area and fully integrated kitchen create a flexible layout suited to everyday family life or entertaining. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an ensuite; the second bedroom also benefits from built storage and a separate shower room.
Practical strengths include two secure gated underground parking bays, onsite porter, share of freehold with a very long 960-year lease, and chain-free sale — features that will appeal to commuters and professionals wanting convenience and long-term security. The building is served by a community gas heating scheme and double glazing, and the location offers easy access to Wimbledon Village, recreational green space and local transport links.
Buyers should note the relatively high annual service charge (£7,898.52) which covers building insurance, water and communal heating, plus a modest ground rent. The block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and external fabric or internal systems may require updating over time; cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation and the double glazing installation date is unknown. Council tax is in the higher band. These are practical considerations against an otherwise spacious, well-located apartment with strong parking and leasehold advantages.
