A compact one-bedroom ground-floor conversion in a well-regarded road, just minutes on foot from Sutton High Street and the station. The flat retains attractive period features — high ceilings, sash windows and a feature fireplace — giving it character and scope to create a cosy, distinctive home for a single occupant or couple.
The layout is small (approximately 420 sq ft) with a modest kitchen and bedroom, but benefits from allocated off-street parking, communal gardens and no onward chain. The lease has around 120 years remaining; service charge and ground rent are modest (£840 pa and £50 pa respectively).
This property is being marketed with a Homewise Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) example price of £152,500 for eligible buyers aged 60+, typically representing savings versus the full market price (£230,000). Actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age, circumstances and any safeguarded share (up to 50%) — use Homewise’s calculator or request a personalised quote for precise figures.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold, externally it’s a solid-brick Victorian build (likely no cavity insulation), and the interior is small and would benefit from some updating. There is above-average local crime reported — worth checking personally. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the setting is in an affluent, inner-city, culturally mixed area with nearby amenities and good schools.
