This one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Sutton offers a compact, well-proportioned home with a south-facing balcony and communal garden space. The living/dining room provides comfortable work-from-home space and large windows bring good natural light into the neutral, modern interior. The flat measures about 560 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and allocated off-street parking.
Practical points include a long lease (135 years remaining) and strong rental potential — estimated at about £1,250–£1,300pcm — which makes the property suitable for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a low-management asset in a well-connected town centre location. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and several highly regarded schools are within easy reach.
There are some material drawbacks to note: the property uses electric storage heating and the block’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may lead to higher energy bills and potential upgrade costs. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s, so periodic maintenance and modernisation could be needed over time. Local crime levels are above average, so buyers should factor that into their decision.
Overall this flat offers convenience, a useful outdoor space and long lease security for buyers willing to accept electric heating and to consider insulation or heating improvements in future.
