Set in Wimbledon’s sought-after Grid and offered chain free, this 1-bedroom apartment combines contemporary finishes with private outdoor space. The open-plan living area has skylights and large bi-fold doors that open onto a private patio — an unusually generous outside space for a flat and a real asset for bike storage or al fresco dining. The modern kitchen with quartz worktops and colourful tiling, hardwood floors and a built-in ceiling sound system give the apartment a clean, move-in-ready feel.
The large double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the bathroom offers both a bath and shower. Direct access from the private terrace makes day-to-day life easier for cyclists and creates a semi-independent entrance, useful for guests or short-term lets. Transport is strong: Wimbledon Park and Southfields (District Line, Zone 3) are both around a seven-minute walk, with local shops, cafés and parkland moments away.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with 125 years remaining and a ground rent of £200. There is on-street EV charging nearby (payable) and the apartment has double glazing installed after 2002 and an EPC rating of C. The building’s solid brick construction likely means little cavity insulation, which could affect heating costs compared with modern builds.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-hassle, well-located London flat with private outside space and good transport links. It’s ready to move into now, but buyers who prioritise maximum thermal efficiency or want free parking should factor those points into a decision.
