Compact one-bedroom flat with garage, long lease and easy walk to Sutton centre.
Chain-free sale with private garage and secure entry
This second-floor one-bedroom flat in Honeysuckle Court offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase with a very long lease (approx. 948 years) and a private garage. At about 555 sq ft, the apartment suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking an affordable entry into Sutton close to shops, cafés and fast rail links to central London.
The building dates to the late 1960s/early 1970s and presents mid-century brick elevations with large windows and a communal garden. Internally the living space is bright but dated; heating is by electric room heaters and the property currently lacks a modern central heating system. EPC is rated E.
Practical running costs include a service charge of around £1,200 per year and no ground rent. The flat is share-of-freehold, has secure entry and good digital connectivity. Note the area records above-average crime levels and the building walls are cavity construction with assumed no added insulation, which may affect ongoing energy and retrofit considerations.
This property works well as a cost-effective home in a well-connected town-centre location, or as a buy-to-let for investors targeting strong commuter demand. Buyers should budget for updating the heating/electrical systems and cosmetic refurbishment to maximise comfort and value.
