Summary - RALEIGH HOUSE FLAT 1 ALBION AVENUE LONDON SW8 2AF
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Convenient commute-ready home with communal gardens and permit parking.
Ground-floor two-bed apartment, about 641 sq ft
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical city living across approximately 641 sq ft. Bay-windowed living space and wooden floors bring natural light, while gas central heating and a boiler-fed radiator system provide reliable warmth. Residents benefit from communal gardens and permit parking, useful extras in a busy SW8 location.
The property sits in a well-connected part of SW8 with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to train and tube links — appealing for commuters and first-time buyers. Local amenities are many, from cafés and shops to healthcare and leisure, though the immediate area is classified as deprived and crime levels are average.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining and an average service charge of £3,314 per year. The building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls (no assumed cavity insulation), so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency upgrades or maintenance into costs. Council tax is described as low, and there is only one bathroom.
Overall, this is a sensible option for someone entering the market who wants a ready-to-live-in apartment with commuting convenience and outdoor communal space. It also offers modest scope for value improvement through targeted refurbishment and insulation work, but buyers should be comfortable with the lease length and service charge level.
