A bright one-bedroom ground-floor flat arranged as an open-plan kitchen/reception and a double bedroom. At around 383 sq ft the accommodation is compact and suited to a single occupant or couple seeking an affordable entry into SW17. The property is offered with no onward chain and comes with allocated off-street parking and access to a communal garden.
The building dates from the 1980s and has modern double glazing; heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. Annual service charge is approximately £1,764. The flat’s ground-floor position and modest ceiling height mean the rooms feel cosy rather than spacious.
Location is a clear strength: a short walk to Tooting Common and close to Tooting Broadway station (Northern Line) for direct central London links. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and everyday amenities and bus routes are within walking distance. The local area is inner-city and lively, with a mixed demographic of young families and students.
Notable practical facts: the lease is long (982 years remaining) and there is no flood risk. Buyers should note the neighbourhood records above-average crime statistics and that the property is in a relatively deprived area, which may affect resale profile. Overall this is an economical, low-maintenance flat offering strong transport links and immediate occupation potential for a first-time buyer or investor prepared for compact living and electric heating.
