Local area records higher crime; recommend checking local statistics
Leasehold packs and additional legal fees may be payable
This two-bedroom first-floor period conversion sits on a prestigious tree-lined road in Mitcham and is offered chain free. Presented in good order, the apartment combines period character with practical amenities including off-street parking and access to a communal garden. Its compact layout (approximately 549 sq ft) is well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home close to transport links.
The property benefits from a long lease (about 87 years remaining) and a share of freehold, simplifying future management compared with many leasehold flats. Transport connections are strong, with tram and bus links within walking distance and convenient routes toward Morden and central London. Council Tax band is affordable and broadband and mobile signals are good.
Buyers should note material points before viewing: the flat is small, so storage and living space are limited; the building has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation which affects thermal efficiency; double glazing was installed before 2002 and the EPC is middling (D). The local area records higher-than-average crime — worth checking local stats and visiting at different times. Leasepack/legal fees may apply when buying, so budget for those costs.
Overall, this is a tidy, characterful conversion offering straightforward access to transport and local amenities. It represents an accessible entry into the area for first-time buyers or a compact rental opportunity, provided purchasers check lease details, commission a survey, and factor in possible energy-efficiency upgrades.
