This well-lit two-bedroom first-floor apartment occupies a handsome Victorian Gothic Revival house on a leafy road, overlooking a tree-lined green. The flat benefits from a share of freehold, a 999-year lease from 2022, allocated off-street parking and a communal garden — practical perks for long-term ownership. Interior features include high ceilings in the building, exposed floorboards, stripped floors in the living room and a bright south/west aspect that gives good natural light.
The living room sits to the front with two Gothic-style sash windows and period character. The kitchen has an exposed brick wall, plentiful storage, a gas hob and electric oven, plus plumbing for a washing machine. The principal bedroom is a double with space for wardrobes; the second room is currently used as a study and suits a single bedroom or home office. The shower room is neatly tiled with storage and a large shower enclosure.
Practical considerations are clear and material. The apartment is small at about 575 sq ft and has one bathroom, which may limit suitability for larger families. There is a service charge of approximately £90pcm (£1,080pa) and gas radiator heating in place. Access is to the first floor via communal entrance and stairs; there is no lift.
This property will suit first-time buyers or couples seeking period character with modern usability, and buyers who value long lease security and low local crime. It also offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase and good commuter links into London, making it an attractive, sensible purchase for those prioritising location and long-term ownership over expansive internal space.
