Summary - 51 Waters Drive TW18 4RT
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact two-bedroom flat with garage, balcony and station nearby — ideal for commuters or first-time buyers..
Chain free with long 146-year lease
A practical two-bedroom apartment on the Moormede Estate, offered chain-free with a long 146-year lease. At about 601 sq ft the home is compact but well-presented, with a bright living room that opens onto a private balcony and two genuine double bedrooms — a rare advantage at this size. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has double glazing installed before 2002.
Location is the apartment's strongest selling point: it sits moments from Staines High Street and the mainline station, making it ideal for commuters or first-time buyers wanting quick rail links and local amenities. The property includes a private garage and residents’ parking, plus tidy communal grounds, which add convenience and outside storage rarely found at this price point.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The apartment is small — room sizes are compact — so it suits those seeking efficient urban living rather than generous space. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costlier than gas alternatives. There is an annual service charge (around £1,545) and a small ground rent (£75), which prospective buyers should factor into running costs.
Overall, this is a sensible, well-located flat offering immediate access to transport links and town-centre amenities. For a commuter, first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-flood-risk, chain-free purchase with long lease security and parking included, this apartment represents good value, provided buyers accept the compact footprint and electric heating.
