Set within a well-maintained early 20th-century mansion block, this ground-floor split-level apartment offers two double bedrooms and about 673 sqft of flexible living space. The contemporary reception room and kitchen look out over a beautifully presented communal garden, creating a quiet pocket of green in a busy SW8 location. Transport links (Northern, Victoria and Overground nearby) put the City and West End within easy reach.
Practical running costs are competitive: a low service charge (£145 pcm) and modest ground rent (£10) accompany a lease with approximately 92 years remaining. The property is presented in good decorative order and includes storage throughout, making it move-in ready for many buyers or suitable for a buy-to-let purchaser seeking reliable rental demand.
There are some material points to note. Heating is via mains gas and room heaters rather than a full communal central system, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation—upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The local area scores as deprived on some indexes and crime is average; prospective buyers should weigh this against the excellent transport and amenity access.
Overall this flat will suit first-time buyers and investors who prioritise location, communal outdoor space and low immediate outgoings, but who are prepared to consider longer-term energy and heating improvements and to check lease-related costs such as packs and conveyancing.
