This compact one-bedroom apartment in Kingston upon Thames offers an attractive entry-level investment in a well-connected, popular area. Set within a Victorian semi-detached building, the flat benefits from high ceilings and period character while measuring approximately 386 sq ft — efficient living space suited to single tenants or couples.
The property comes with a long lease (circa 982 years remaining), communal gardens and on-street permit parking. It is an end-of-chain sale, simplifying purchase timing. Local amenities, good schools and reliable transport links make the location appealing to students and young professionals, supporting steady rental demand.
Buyers should note the flat’s small overall size and some dated fabric: solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and typical Victorian construction that may benefit from targeted upgrades. Crime levels in the area are recorded as very high, and parking is on-street with a permit requirement. These are practical factors for landlords and owner-occupiers to consider.
In short, this is a compact, characterful apartment offered as a straightforward purchase with long-term lease security and clear rental potential. It suits investors seeking a low-entry property in Kingston or buyers prepared to refresh and modernise for comfort or improved returns.
