Compact, characterful apartment near Epsom station ideal for first-time buyers.
Share-of-freehold with 109-year lease remaining
Set within secluded communal gardens, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers an attractive, low-hassle entry into Epsom living. The property is sold chain-free with a long 109-year lease and a share-of-freehold, making it straightforward for first-time buyers or those downsizing. Off-street parking and quick access to Epsom town centre and the mainline station add everyday convenience.
Internally the home is compact at around 490 sq ft and retains period character — high ceilings, full-length balcony and Victorian details — which give the rooms a bright, airy feel. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation; the EPC is rated D. These factors may mean higher running costs compared with modern gas-heated homes.
There is an average service charge of about £1,440 per year and council tax costs are described as cheap. Broadband speeds are fast and local crime levels are low. Nearby schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and the wider area is very affluent with strong local amenities.
Overall this is a tidy, characterful apartment with clear benefits — share-of-freehold, parking, secluded grounds — balanced by its small size and electric heating. It suits buyers wanting a convenient commuter base or a compact, character property to personalise.
