This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in South Farnborough offers a rare combination of long lease security and straightforward upkeep. With a share of freehold and over 900 years remaining on the lease, the tenure is effectively equivalent to freehold for most buyers. The flat is chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, making it suitable for buyers seeking a quick move or a low-hassle investment.
Set within a Victorian detached building in a conservation area, the apartment blends period exterior features with a contemporary interior: a compact modern kitchen, a bright attic-style room with skylight, and a well-proportioned living room and bedroom. Practical running costs are modest — a low maintenance charge (£50pcm), no ground rent, and council tax in Band B — which keeps ongoing expenses predictable.
The location is a strong practical selling point: walking distance to local amenities, good bus links, and easy access to the mainline station and the A331/M3. Nearby primary and secondary schools include highly regarded options, and broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for commuters and home workers.
Buyers should note this is a small, top-floor apartment of around 555 sq ft, with sloped ceilings in the attic room and some garden outside the building that is currently overgrown. The property has an EPC rating of D and is in a higher-crime area, which may concern some purchasers. Overall it suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a low-maintenance, well-located one-bed with long-term lease security and modest service costs.
