A bright top-floor period conversion in the heart of Richmond, this one-bedroom apartment sits close to Kew Gardens, Richmond town centre and local transport. The living room and separate fitted kitchen make practical day-to-day living, while the generous double bedroom provides comfortable sleeping accommodation. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working and streaming.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: a long lease (117 years), a manageable service charge (£1,050 pa) and no flood risk. The location offers exceptional leisure and transport links — frequent mainline services plus District and Overground connections — and plentiful local amenities from cafés to supermarkets and parks.
Be upfront about upkeep and layout: the flat uses electric room heaters, the building appears to have solid brick walls with no assumed insulation and glazing date is unknown. As a top-floor/attic-style apartment there are sloped ceilings and lower head height in places, and the area records above-average crime levels, which some buyers will want to factor into personal security or insurance considerations.
For buyers willing to refresh heating or insulation and adapt to a compact top-floor plan, this apartment offers a rare central Richmond location with long lease security and good rental or owner-occupier appeal.
