Summary - Flat 3 Magnum House, 164, London Road, KINGSTON UPON THAMES KT2 6QW
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Compact, well-located apartment ideal for first-time buyers and commuters.
Two double bedrooms with open-plan living and balcony
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in a modern mixed-use block on London Road, minutes from Norbiton and Kingston stations. The open-plan living area opens onto a balcony, giving outdoor space and town views — a rare plus for a compact city flat. At 553 sq ft the layout works well for first-time buyers seeking a commuter base with easy access to central Kingston amenities and transport to London Waterloo.
Practical benefits include double glazing (installed post-2002), a long lease (129 years remaining) and no flood risk. Local schools include several highly rated primaries and two top-10% secondary options, making the area suitable for future family plans. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.
Notable running costs and considerations: the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of £3,143 and ground rent of £258. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas, and the flat’s small overall size limits extensive reconfiguration. These factors should be weighed against the convenience of the location and long lease.
Overall this is a sensible entry-level purchase for a commuter or first-time buyer who values location, transport links and low immediate maintenance, and who accepts higher service charges and electric heating in return for central convenience.
