Summary - DARTINGTON HOUSE FLAT 3 UNION GROVE LONDON SW8 2QW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free 2-bed ground-floor flat with private garden and excellent transport links — ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor flat over 620 sq ft
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers surprisingly generous space — over 620 sq ft — with a private front garden and separate living room. The layout is traditional and bright, with two double bedrooms, shower room, separate WC and a kitchen ready for your personal updates. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC C provide reasonable running efficiency for the age of the building.
Location is a strong practical asset: 0.5–0.7 miles to Wandsworth Road, Stockwell and Nine Elms stations for quick links across London, plus nearby green space at Larkhall Park and Battersea’s redeveloped area. Chain-free sale makes the purchase timeline simpler for a first-time buyer looking to move quickly.
The flat does need some modernisation — mid-century features such as the living-room gas heater and hardwood floors need updating to suit contemporary tastes. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and walls are likely uninsulated, so further thermal improvements could be considered. Leasehold with 88 years remaining is long enough to purchase but could affect mortgage options and future sale value; ground rent is listed at £10 (details unknown).
Be candid about local context: the area has above-average crime statistics and is classified as very deprived in parts, which can influence insurance and resale considerations. For a buyer prioritising space, transport links and a private outside area who is willing to invest modestly in improvements, this flat represents clear value in an evolving part of SW8.
