Summary - 32 ASHDOWN WAY LONDON SW17 7TH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal starter home near Balham, Tooting Bec and green open spaces.
Chain free one-bedroom leasehold flat, ready to occupy
This compact one-bedroom leasehold flat is a straightforward starter home in a well-connected Tooting Bec location. The apartment is chain free and benefits from an open-plan reception with a modern fitted kitchen and integrated appliances, plus an off-street parking space — rare for the area. Bright large windows and recent cosmetic updates give an immediate move-in feel.
At around 392 sq ft the accommodation is modest: a well-proportioned bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a contemporary bathroom suit single professionals or couples. The building dates from the 1980s and has double glazing installed before 2002; heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. These practical features keep running costs straightforward but mean there may be future upgrade work to consider.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold, broadband speeds are reported slow, and local crime levels are above average. Despite these drawbacks, the flat’s proximity to Balham and Tooting Bec stations, Wandsworth Common’s green space, and plentiful local amenities supports good rental and resale demand. For a buyer wanting easy access into central London with parking included, this offers clear value and low immediate maintenance.
Overall, this home is best suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, ready-to-live-in flat with scope to personalise and improve broadband and long-term fixtures.
