This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a modern low-rise development on Coombe Road, moments from Kingston town centre. The open-plan living space with integrated kitchen and private balcony makes efficient use of the compact 504 sq ft layout, offering light and contemporary finishes throughout. With construction completed in 2023, the flat should need minimal immediate work and will appeal to buyers seeking a move-in-ready home.
The location is a major strength: easy walking access to shops, cafés, bars and Norbiton rail links, plus nearby green space at Richmond Park. The combination of central convenience and a private balcony provides city-edge living without compromise. The property is suitable for first-time buyers wanting a manageable, modern home or investors targeting a straightforward rental let in a strong commuter area.
Buyers should note the practical costs and constraints: the flat is leasehold with 117 years remaining, an annual service charge of £1,532 and ground rent of £350. Heating is electric via room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. Internal space is compact — best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family — and there is no private garden.
Overall, this apartment represents a convenient, low-maintenance city-edge option with modern specification and long lease tenure. It offers clear appeal for first-time purchasers and buy-to-let investors who value location and turnkey condition, provided they factor in service charges and electric heating costs.
