This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical, well-laid-out home with direct access to a private garden of approximately 17' — a rare find for a lower-ground apartment in the area. The reception room opens onto the garden via sliding doors, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for relaxed evenings and small-scale entertaining. The open-plan kitchen has plentiful storage and the main bedroom benefits from extensive fitted cupboards, helping to keep the living space uncluttered.
The property sits in a modern, well-maintained development (built 2003–2006) close to Kendor Gardens and local shops, cafés and transport links in Morden and Wimbledon. At 675 sq ft it is an average-sized flat suited to a first-time buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance home with outdoor space. The lease has about 104 years remaining, and the service charge is a moderate £840 pa with a small ground rent of £250 pa.
Practical points to note: heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs; the area records higher-than-average crime, so prospective buyers should factor in security and personal safety considerations. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent and schools nearby have strong Ofsted ratings, which will appeal to buyers with young children.
Overall this is a tidy, turn-key flat with genuine outside space and long lease security. It suits a first-time buyer seeking a comfortable starter home in SW19 who values garden access and local amenities, while accepting slightly higher energy costs and taking common-sense precautions for local crime levels.
