Situated 0.1 miles from Mortlake Station, this one-bedroom flat is a practical, no-onward-chain opportunity for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The bright reception room, separate kitchen and modern bathroom make the layout versatile for daily living and easy furnishing. Allocated off-street parking is a strong local benefit in this part of SW14.
The flat is compact at 434 sq ft but well laid out; large windows provide good natural light. The long lease (152 years remaining) reduces purchase risk, while double glazing (installed post-2002) helps with noise and insulation. Local amenities include riverside pubs, cafes and good schools, and regular Waterloo services from Mortlake are a short walk away.
Practical costs and specifics are important: the property is leasehold with a service charge around £1,441 per year and a small ground rent of £100. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating and should be considered when budgeting. The wider area records higher-than-average crime, so prospective buyers should check local safety measures and communal security arrangements.
Overall this flat suits someone seeking a central Mortlake base with parking and strong transport links, or an investor wanting a straightforward, chain-free purchase. The compact size and running costs (service charge, electric heating) are the main trade-offs against a convenient location and long lease.
