Summary - SEAFORTH LODGE FLAT 27 BARNES HIGH STREET LONDON SW13 9LE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright second-floor apartment moments from Barnes High Street and river paths.
Chain free one-bedroom flat with 140 years remaining on the lease
This bright one-bedroom flat occupies the second floor of Seaforth Lodge in the heart of Barnes Village, offering lateral living across approximately 490 sq ft. A generous reception room with a bay window brings abundant natural light, while a compact modern kitchen provides efficient, contemporary fittings. The apartment is chain free and has a long lease (140 years), making it straightforward to purchase.
Location is a major asset: Barnes High Street, the pond, riverside towpath and the OSO Arts Centre are all on the doorstep. Barnes Bridge station is about a six-minute walk and Barnes station around ten minutes, both with frequent services to London Waterloo. The area is very affluent and well served for schools, cafes, independent shops and regular markets — ideal for someone who values village-like amenities within easy reach of central London.
Buyers should note some practical downsides. Heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas, and the building appears to have cavity walls with no added insulation, which could affect running costs. The annual service charge is relatively high at £4,390 and local crime levels are above average. Council tax is moderate; flood risk is very low and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
This flat suits a buyer seeking a ready-to-live-in London pad with strong local character and transport links, or an investor targeting long-lease, central Barnes rental stock. It offers immediate village lifestyle benefits while still carrying considerations around service costs and heating efficiency that prospective buyers should budget for.
