This ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette on Charlmont Road offers a rare combination of private outdoor space and central Tooting convenience. The apartment’s open-plan living and large glazing bring good natural light, while the larger-than-average private garden/paved patio creates rare outdoor amenity for a flat at this price and location. With no onward chain and an option to purchase a share of the freehold, the property suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward access to the Northern Line and local amenities.
Internally the accommodation is compact (approximately 440 sq ft) but well laid out for single occupants or couples. Contemporary fixtures, high ceilings in parts of the living area and modern finishes make the flat move-in ready in many respects. The long lease (circa 164 years) and the listing stating no service charges or ground rent reduce common leasehold burdens, though purchasers should confirm current running costs and any forthcoming communal obligations.
Important practical points: the building dates from the early 20th century and walls are solid brick with no known insulation, so heating costs and cold spots should be considered. Services and appliances have not been tested; buyers are advised to commission a survey and checks on the boiler, electrics and glazing. Additional administrative fees (lease packs, legal searches) can apply when buying a leasehold property.
In short, this is an affordable, chain-free entry into a sought-after Tooting location with unusually generous private outdoor space for a one-bedroom flat. It will appeal to first-time buyers who value outdoor space and transport links, and to investors looking for a well-located rental with low immediate overheads — subject to standard leasehold checks and a professional inspection.
