Set inside a well-kept modern development, this one-bedroom flat offers a straightforward entry into Kingston living. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a flexible living space with built-in bedroom storage and extra hallway cupboards, making the most of the 527 sq ft layout. Lift access, off-street parking and an on-site residents' gym add practical convenience for day-to-day life.
The location is a major strength: Kingston town centre, frequent trains from Kingston station and numerous bus routes are all within easy reach, plus riverside paths and several large parks for leisure. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working and streaming. The property was constructed c.1996–2002 and benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown).
Important practical points: heating is electric via room heaters, which can be more expensive than central systems. The apartment is leasehold (long lease remaining) with a modest ground rent of £100; council tax is described as affordable. The immediate neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area and crime levels are reported as high — buyers should consider security and lifestyle fit.
Overall, this compact, low‑maintenance flat is best suited to a first-time buyer seeking excellent transport links and local amenities, or an investor targeting steady rental demand from students and professionals. The long lease and included parking/gym make it a pragmatic purchase, though factor in running costs for electric heating and local safety considerations.
