Large period flat moments from Wandsworth Common, ideal for first-time buyers.
- Share of freehold with approx. 990-year lease remaining
- Spacious 552 sq ft one-bedroom with high ceilings and period features
- First-floor flat accessed by stairs only (no lift)
- Off-street parking provided on a rota system, not dedicated
- Double glazing installed post-2002; gas boiler and radiators
- Solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation (possible retrofit costs)
- Short walk to Wandsworth Common and Northcote Road amenities
- Local crime levels higher than borough average
This bright one-bedroom flat sits on the first floor of a handsome Victorian building, offering generous rooms and classic period character. High ceilings, a working fireplace, picture rails and fitted shutters give the reception an airy, elegant feel and draw in plenty of natural light. The layout includes a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobe space, a well-equipped galley kitchen and a stylish shower room with attractive tiling.
Practical benefits include a long lease (approx. 990 years), share of freehold status, double glazing fitted after 2002, gas central heating and an off-street parking space managed on a rota. At around 552 sq ft the flat is larger than many typical one-beds in the area, and the modest service charge (circa £100) keeps ongoing costs low.
The location is a major asset: moments from Wandsworth Common and close to Northcote Road’s shops, cafés and restaurants. Wandsworth Common station is about 0.6 miles away with frequent trains to London Victoria, and several well-regarded schools are nearby, making this a practical choice for first-time buyers wanting space and local amenities.
Known drawbacks are factual and important to consider: the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which can affect heat retention and future retrofit costs. The property is on an upper floor (stairs only), and the off-street parking is rota-based rather than dedicated. Local crime levels are higher than average for the borough and should be weighed when planning security measures or insurance.
