Situated on a quiet residential street in Earlsfield, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment combines practical layout and rare private outdoor space. The flat benefits from its own entrance, a large private garden and an external storage unit — features seldom found at this size. With double glazing, a C energy rating and mains gas central heating, running costs are competitive and comfortable.
Inside you'll find a bright mid-century–inspired living room with space for dining, a compact modern kitchen and a well-finished bathroom. The double bedroom includes built-in storage; the overall footprint is an average-sized 513 sq ft, suitable for a single occupant or couple seeking a long-term first home with outside space.
Practical positives include a long lease (182 years), no ground rent, no flood risk and easy walking access to Earlsfield station for fast central London connections. The property sits in a very affluent, well-served neighbourhood with excellent mobile signal, good local schools and plentiful shops and cafes.
Notable drawbacks are the relatively high annual service charge (£1,175) and an assumed lack of cavity wall insulation, which could mean future improvement costs. The kitchen is compact, and broadband speeds are average — factors to consider if you work from home. Overall, the flat offers a rare private garden in a desirable location, balanced by modest running and improvement considerations.
