Quiet, well-presented ground-floor ex-Warner maisonette offering straightforward two-bedroom living with a private garden — ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The apartment benefits from period character including a bay-front reception, high ceilings in parts and polished floorboards that create a bright, welcoming feel. The kitchen-diner provides useful family space and direct access to a south-west facing garden for outdoor sitting and simple planting.
Practical strengths include a long lease (167 years remaining), low council tax and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The property is arranged in a linear layout with a separate bathroom and decent built-in storage, making efficient use of the 720 sq ft. St James Street station is a short walk away for reliable links into central London, with additional Overground options nearby and a wide choice of local shops, bakeries and green spaces.
Buyers should note some neighbourhood and fabric realities: the wider area has above-average crime statistics and is relatively deprived, which may affect long-term resale and rental considerations. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so further insulation or window upgrades could be beneficial. The tenure is leasehold with a small ground rent of £100; purchasers should review lease details and service arrangements.
