Light-filled upper-floor one-bedroom in a classic 1900s conversion, offered chain free with a share of freehold. Large arched windows and high ceilings create an airy feel across the compact 412 sq ft layout, ideal for a first purchase or buy-to-let starter. Transport links are strong, with Wandsworth Road Station within walking distance and easy routes to Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms.
Practical running costs reflect the property’s period build: electric room heaters, an energy rating of D and solid brick walls likely lacking insulation may mean higher heating bills. The lease has 98 years remaining — manageable but worth noting — and the annual service charge is £1,800 with a small £100 ground rent.
This apartment suits a buyer wanting central SW8 living and period character who is comfortable with compact accommodation and potential improvement works. There is scope to increase comfort and efficiency through targeted upgrades (insulation, heating, glazing) which would also add long-term value. Council Tax Band C and very low flood risk support straightforward occupancy.
