Bright, compact and recently renovated, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat on St James Road suits a first-time buyer seeking move-in readiness with outdoor space. The conversion retains period character in the bay-fronted living room while a contemporary kitchen opens directly onto a private, low-maintenance garden — a rare benefit for a ground-floor apartment. Allocated off-street parking and a long share-of-freehold lease (circa 982 years) add practical value.
At about 614 sq ft the accommodation is efficiently arranged but genuinely small; room sizes are modest and storage is limited. The building is of solid brick construction (original c.1900–1929) with double glazing installed before 2002 and no confirmed wall insulation, which may mean higher heating usage compared with newer builds. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators.
The flat benefits from a favourable local position: under a 10-minute walk to Sutton mainline station, close to Sutton High Street and Cheam Village, and within easy reach of several well-regarded schools including Robin Hood Infant School and Sutton Grammar. Broadband and mobile signals are strong. Service charges are reasonable at £780 and council tax is described as affordable.
Important negatives to note: the property sits in an area with above-average recorded crime, the overall floor area is small, and any buyer should verify insulation and building details. For a first-time buyer wanting a tidy, characterful flat with garden and parking, this offers a practical, low-hassle start with good transport and local amenities.
