Light-filled one-bedroom flat in an Edwardian-built block, offered with a share of freehold and a very long lease. The apartment makes efficient use of 371 sq ft with restored wooden floors, a modern fitted kitchen, and a double bedroom — suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance central-suburb base. Large windows and a Velux bring in strong natural light and provide clear views towards Central London, creating a pleasant, airy living space.
Practical strengths include allocated off-street parking, no ground rent, and a sensible service charge (£1,900 pa / £190 pcm) that covers building insurance, communal maintenance and window cleaning. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; glazing is double-glazed. The block sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to good primary and secondary schools and local amenities.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s small overall size (371 sq ft) and that the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and future improvement scope. The property is older (1930–49 construction) so buyers should factor in typical period maintenance and check installation dates for glazing and services where relevant.
Overall this property offers a compact, well-presented home with strong location benefits and long-lease security — a realistic purchase for a first-time buyer wanting minimal immediate work or an investor seeking a city-facing rental in a desirable suburb.
