Set on the second (top) floor of a small modern development, this one-bedroom flat delivers bright, well-proportioned living for a first-time buyer or investor. The reception room benefits from natural light and a semi-open-plan kitchen, while the bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe. Off-street allocated parking and proximity to Wandle Meadow add practical appeal.
The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has double glazing fitted post-2002. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is electrically powered — convenient for buyers wanting a simple-energy setup but likely to be costlier than gas alternatives. The flat measures approximately 442 sq ft and has a straightforward, traditional layout with a hallway storage cupboard and communal garden.
Known positives include good local transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby amenities across Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and Tooting, and several well-rated local schools. Notable considerations: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,476; electric storage heating can mean higher running costs; and the area records above-average crime levels. These facts make the flat best suited to buyers prioritising location and low-maintenance ownership rather than long-term energy efficiency.
Overall this is a compact, well-located flat offering immediate move-in potential, clear rental appeal and practical parking — a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer seeking Wimbledon access or an investor targeting steady demand.
