Summary - 21 ABBEY DRIVE LONDON SW17 9PN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, ready-to-move-in apartment near Tooting Common and Northern Line.
Bright ground-floor one-bedroom flat, open-plan kitchen/reception
A bright ground-floor one-bedroom flat positioned in a sought-after 1980s development close to Tooting Common and Tooting Broadway station. The open-plan kitchen/reception brings natural light into a compact layout that suits a single occupant or couple and offers practical off-street allocated parking and access to a communal garden. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it straightforward to progress.
The apartment is small (circa 383 sq ft) and built in the 1980s with double glazing added post-2002. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity; this can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Service charge averages £1,764 per year and the tenure is leasehold (long lease still in place).
Location is a genuine asset: quick walking access to Northern Line services, local shops, and good primary and secondary schools nearby. The area attracts young families and students and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Be aware the neighbourhood records above-average crime and is classified as relatively deprived, which may matter to some buyers.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer looking for an entry into SW17, or an investor seeking a let-ready central-urban unit; its size and electric heating are important considerations for budgeting. The straightforward chain position and allocated parking add practical value, while modest living space means limited storage and layout flexibility.
