Set on the upper floor of a detached, period-style building in Upper Tulse Hill, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment offers a surprisingly spacious bedroom, open-plan living and integrated kitchen space across 575 sq ft. The layout maximises storage and living area, with a useful breakfast island and a lounge/dining zone arranged beneath thoughtfully varied ceilings. Off-street parking and excellent public transport links to Streatham, Tooting, Brixton and Clapham Common add everyday convenience.
Practical features include double glazing and electric underfloor heating, making the apartment cosy and low-maintenance on the heating front. The property was constructed in the 2007–2011 period and presents as well maintained throughout, with a compact but functional shower room. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent for working from home or streaming.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with 86 years remaining, a service charge averaging £1,500 pa and a ground rent of £100 pa. Heating and hot water are electric (not a communal gas system), which can affect running costs. The local area is described as very deprived overall and crime levels are average; these factors may influence future resale or rental performance.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer wanting more space than a typical starter flat and the ease of no onward chain. It may also appeal to investors seeking rental income — an estimated gross rental figure of about £23,000 pa has been suggested but should be independently verified. Viewings will suit those prioritising transport links, parking and a generous bedroom in a compact, low-upkeep home.
