This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor (lift) of a popular Southfields development, offered at £300,000. At about 376 sq ft the layout is compact but efficient, with an open-plan kitchen/reception, a double bedroom and a balcony that looks out over communal gardens and green London vistas.
The flat suits a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values transport links and green space: Southfields District Line, buses to Putney/Wimbledon/Clapham, and easy access to Wimbledon Park and Wimbledon Common. Practical extras include free residents’ off‑street parking, communal gardens, very good broadband, and low local crime.
Leasehold details and running costs are straightforward: 87 years remaining on the lease, a below‑average service charge of around £850, and very low council tax. There are optional extra storage sheds (c. £2 pcm) and covered garages (c. £50 pcm) available from the freeholder by separate negotiation.
Important considerations: the apartment is small at 376 sq ft, and the building dates from the 1950s–60s with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated — this may limit thermal performance and offer scope for future energy upgrades. Buyers should note the lease length when assessing mortgage options and resale potential.
