Compact character flat near commons and transit links, ideal first home.
390 sq ft one-bedroom second-floor period conversion
A compact one-bedroom flat in a handsome Victorian conversion on Crockerton Road, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character and location. The property sits on the second floor and benefits from a bright fitted kitchen with a Velux window and a reception room that includes fitted wardrobes and a dining area.
Practical strengths include a long remaining lease (152 years), share of freehold, double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The building’s high-period ceilings and bay-windowed façade give strong kerb appeal, while the flat’s storage provision is better than typical for its size.
Be clear about the constraints: the flat is small at around 390 sq ft, and parts of the building are timber-framed with assumed no wall insulation. The living room has a slanted/loft-style ceiling and lower head height in places. Service charges average £1,344 per year. These points matter if you need more living space or are especially energy-conscious.
Location is a major draw: easy reach of Balham, Tooting and Wimbledon amenities and quick access to green space at Tooting Bec and Wandsworth Commons. Good mobile signal and fast broadband support homeworkers and streaming. Schools nearby vary in performance, so check individual catchments if schooling is a priority.
