Bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment on the second floor, aimed at first-time buyers seeking a sensible London purchase. The flat’s 529 sq ft layout includes a spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a larger-than-average lounge and a fitted kitchen with good natural light. Chain-free sale and off-street parking add practical convenience.
The building dates from the 1950s–60s and is of system-built construction; the flat has double glazing installed before 2002 and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. There is scope to modernise cosmetic finishes and improve thermal performance — a realistic opportunity to add value for a buyer prepared to refurbish.
Practical running costs are clear: an 86-year lease remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,060 and a relatively low council tax. Transport links are strong with nearby Barnes mainline station, frequent buses and quick access to Richmond Park for weekend walks.
This is a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking a reasonably priced, well-located starter home or buy-to-let in SW15. Be mindful of the lease length and the mid‑century construction, which can mean future maintenance or insulation works.
