Perched on the tenth floor of Somerset House in the Oakfield Development, this two-bedroom apartment delivers uninterrupted panoramic views across central London and the All England Lawn Tennis Club. Large windows flood the open-plan living space with natural light and frame far-reaching cityscape and parkland vistas — a standout selling point for buyers seeking a dramatic outlook and low-rise privacy.
The development sits within well-kept communal gardens and offers resident conveniences including lifts, porter service and secure underground garage parking. The flat benefits from a very long share-of-freehold lease (961 years) and a community heating scheme, simplifying long-term ownership and maintenance arrangements for a professional couple or downsizer.
Buyers should note a comparatively high annual service charge (£6,543) and a council tax band G — both reflect the development’s communal services and central location and will affect running costs. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s; glazing is double but install date is unknown and walls have partial cavity insulation, so a buyer seeking the absolute latest efficiency measures should budget for possible upgrades.
Overall, this is a rare split of space and view in SW19: a large, light-filled two-bedroom apartment in a highly affluent, well-connected area with secure parking and long lease security. It suits professionals, downsizers, or investors who prioritise location, outlook and convenience, while accepting higher service charges and typical retrofit considerations for a 1970s/80s build.
