Bright, chain-free one-bedroom flat set on the second/top floor of a 1960s purpose-built block. The large reception room opens onto a private balcony overlooking established communal gardens, giving a quieter aspect at the block end. The apartment’s layout and natural light suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking easy access to Southfields, Wimbledon and Putney amenities and transport links.
Practical running costs are relatively low, and the property is sold with 86 years remaining on the lease. Heating is via electric storage heaters and mains electricity; buyers should note there is no communal gas and running costs will reflect electric heating. The building is post-war solid brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation, so upgrading insulation or heating could improve comfort and reduce bills.
The flat benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown), communal grounds and nearby green space including Wimbledon Common. Local schools rate well and public transport is readily accessible, making the location appealing to a variety of buyers. The apartment’s mid-century features—built-in shelving, fireplace and cornicing—offer character and scope for sympathetic modernisation.
Known costs and considerations are straightforward: an average service charge of about £1,203 per year and a lease of 86 years remaining. The flat is sold chain-free but buyers should factor the potential need for refurbishment, a professional survey, and any leasehold-related costs such as conveyancing or lease packs.
