Set on the popular Sheen–Barnes border, this first-floor two-bedroom flat offers a straightforward, well-located home for a first-time buyer or investor. The accommodation is light and livable with a generous living/dining room, separate kitchen and a full bathroom. Barnes and Mortlake stations are within easy reach, and Richmond Park and the River Thames are close by for regular outdoor access.
Practical details are favourable: double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low local crime and no flood risk. The building was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s and the property sits within a very affluent, highly qualified neighbourhood with strong local schools and plentiful shops, cafés and transport links.
The flat is modest in footprint (around 55 sq m / 592 sq ft) and is best suited to a couple, small family or buy-to-let purchaser. There is no private garden and the finish is mid‑20th century in places, so simple updating would add immediate value and modern comfort. Leasehold terms are reasonable but should be noted: 92 years remaining, service charge £662 (below average) and ground rent £100 per year.
Overall this is a well-positioned, easy-to-manage apartment offering a sensible entry point into SW14 with clear potential for cosmetic improvement and rental appeal.
