A bright ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The apartment provides an open-plan living area with a contemporary kitchen, a double bedroom that opens onto a small private outdoor space, and a modern shower room. At about 453 sq ft, the layout is compact but well planned for single occupancy or couples.
Practical details support purchase confidence: a long lease of 116 years, double glazing installed post-2002, and a modest ground rent of £200. The property sits close to local shops, cafes, transport links and a range of schools, making daily life straightforward and rentable demand strong for this location.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: heating relies on electric room heaters (no central gas heating), the building is system-built with internal insulation, and local crime levels are above average. Council Tax Band C applies (approx. £2,170.72 pa). These factors affect running costs and may influence mortgage or insurance terms.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, central base, or an investor targeting straightforward lettings in a well-connected part of West Molesey. The vacant possession and no chain position make a quick transaction feasible, while modest refurbishment or redecoration could add value.
