A compact, well-laid-out one-bedroom second-floor flat just a short walk from Leatherhead town centre and the mainline station. The property benefits from an appealing period-style brick-and-render facade, high ceilings in parts of the building and pleasant roof-top views across the River Mole. The fitted kitchen includes an oven/hob and the flat has double glazing and an allocated off-street parking space, making it a practical choice for commuters or first-time buyers.
The long lease (extremely long at 974 years) and low ground rent provide ownership certainty. Service charges are moderately high at about £2,152 pa, so factor running costs into your budget; council tax band B is relatively cheap. The flat’s total area is compact (approximately 437 sq ft) and arranged as two main rooms, so it suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family needing more space.
The building was constructed in the 1980s yet presents a Georgian-style facade; internal decor is generally tidy but some areas (carpet and decoration) will benefit from refreshing. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high — a material consideration for buyers prioritising security. Overall, this apartment offers ready-to-live-in convenience, strong transport links and low long-term ownership costs, balanced against size limits, service charges and local crime statistics.
