A practical one-bedroom apartment offered chain-free and sold with a sitting tenant, making it available to buy-to-let investors only. The property is bright, double-glazed and benefits from gas central heating on a community scheme, helping control running costs for landlords.
Set on the second floor, the flat delivers a comfortable living and dining area plus a separate modern kitchen with integrated appliances. The bedroom is a good-sized double and the contemporary bathroom reduces immediate refurbishment needs. Residents also have access to communal gardens and on-street parking.
Important lease and condition notes are clear: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and a nominal ground rent (£10). Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the block likely has cavity walls without added insulation, so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency upgrades into long-term maintenance budgets. Local crime levels are above average and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect rental demand and insurance costs.
Location is a key asset: 0.6 miles from Barnes station with direct trains to Waterloo, regular buses to Putney and Richmond, and Richmond Park under a mile away — features that support steady tenant demand. The flat’s size and layout suit single professionals or couples seeking convenience and rental income in a well-connected part of SW15.
