Compact, commuter-friendly studio with long lease and renovation potential..
- Compact open-plan studio, approx 355 sq ft (33 sq m)
- First-floor position with large windows and high ceilings
- Very long lease: 977 years remaining
- Direct commuter links to London Waterloo (fast services)
- Electric room heaters only; no gas central heating
- Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated — potential upgrade needed
- EPC rating D; may need energy improvements
- Local area records very high crime levels
A compact, bright studio in central Surbiton, arranged as an open-plan living and sleeping area with a modern fitted kitchenette and shower room. Large windows and high ceilings (original Victorian building) help the space feel larger than its 33 sq m (355 sq ft) footprint, making it a practical first home or rental unit for a commuter to London.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (977 years), low council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working — and immediate access to local shops, cafes and the mainline station with direct services to London Waterloo. The flat’s layout and natural light give straightforward potential for small-scale redecoration or layout optimisation.
Notable considerations: heating is by electric room heaters (no gas central heating), and the building has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, which may increase running costs and could limit comfort in colder months. The property has an EPC rating of D. The local area records a very high crime level; buyers should factor this into security and insurance decisions.
Overall this studio suits a commuter first-time buyer or an investor seeking a city-edge, easy-to-manage studio with long leasehold security and renovation upside, provided the buyer is comfortable addressing energy efficiency and local safety concerns.
