This well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers bright, modern living within a purpose-built development close to Staines town centre and the mainline station. The open-plan living space flows to a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, while the large double bedroom and contemporary bathroom provide comfortable, ready-to-move-in accommodation. With 980+ years remaining on the lease and no onward chain, ownership is straightforward and long-term security is excellent.
The property sits on approximately 496 sq ft — an average-sized layout that suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-maintenance, modern accommodation. Built after 2007, it benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and contemporary finishes, reducing immediate renovation costs. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to daily convenience.
Buyers should note a medium flooding risk in the area and an average level of local deprivation; consider checking insurance costs and local flood mitigation measures. The flat is leasehold — although the lease length is exceptionally long — and being in a built-up town location may mean typical urban noise and parking considerations. Overall, this apartment presents a practical, well-located opportunity for those wanting easy access to transport links and town-centre facilities.
