A bright one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a handsome Victorian semi-detached building on Tierney Road, offered chain-free and ideal for a first purchase or buy-to-let. The apartment’s bay window and high ceilings give a roomier feel than the square footage suggests, while a private section of the shared garden adds outdoor space uncommon at this price band.
The accommodation extends to 443 sq ft (about 41.2 sq m) with a well-proportioned living/dining room and a double bedroom. The flat is presented in good order and benefits from gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a long lease (circa 150 years). There is no flooding risk and the local crime level is very low.
Practical considerations: the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and originate from the 1900–1929 period, which may mean higher heating costs and potential scope for thermal improvements. The property is leasehold (ground rent £175) and sits within a wider area of relative deprivation, though it is close to well-regarded schools, transport links at Balham and Streatham Hill, and green space at Tooting Bec Common.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located small flat with period character and clear potential for cosmetic or efficiency upgrades — a sensible choice for first-time buyers seeking a compact central-London base or investors targeting steady rental demand.
