A one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with practical living space and off-street parking, offered chain-free for a cash buyer or investor able to manage lease considerations. The layout includes an open-plan reception, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom across about 529 sq ft. Secondary glazing and a gas boiler with radiators provide straightforward heating and energy performance rated EPC C.
Location is a strong selling point: Birchwood Close sits 0.3 miles from Morden town centre and Northern Line station, with shops, buses and several highly rated schools close by — useful for rental demand or resale appeal. The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) and presents as a low-rise brick development in a mixed urban area.
Important lease and cost facts may limit mortgage options: 61 years remain on the lease and lenders could refuse lending. Service charges average £1,657.55 pa and ground rent is £225 pa. These material factors mean the property is best suited to cash buyers, specialist lenders or investors prepared to extend the lease (legal and cost implications apply).
In short, this is a convenient, ready-to-occupy one-bedroom apartment with commuter access and steady rental potential, but the short lease and ongoing charges are decisive issues. Buyers should obtain legal advice on lease extension costs and lender criteria before committing.
