Two bedrooms within circa 581 sq ft (compact layout)

A compact two-bedroom apartment in a Georgian Revival block, offered chain-free and ready for a first purchase. Its position close to Morden Underground (Northern Line) and local shops makes daily commuting and errands straightforward. The flat benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a communal garden for outdoor space.
The layout is traditional and modest at approximately 581 sq ft, suited to a couple or first-time buyers wanting an affordable foothold in Merton. The long lease (circa 163 years) reduces long-term leasehold risk and broadband and mobile connectivity are strong—useful for home working and streaming.
Be aware of a few material points: the building dates from the 1930s–40s and the party walls are timber-frame with assumed little or no insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future upgrade costs. The average service charge is about £1,600 per year and local crime levels are reported as high; viewings and budgeting should take both into account.
Overall this is a practical, well-located starter home with immediate access to transport and schools of good/ outstanding Ofsted ratings nearby. Buyers wanting larger living space or a fully modernised fabric should expect to invest in insulation or internal improvements.
