Light, compact and competitively priced, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Coombe Road is well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry property in Kingston. The open-plan kitchen-reception benefits from ample natural light and double glazing, while the allocated off-street parking space is a practical bonus in an inner-city location. With 128 years remaining on the lease and no onward chain, the purchase process can be straightforward.
The apartment requires re-decoration and some renovation, offering clear potential to add value through cosmetic improvement and better insulation. Note that walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction and broadband speeds are currently very slow — factors to budget for if you plan to modernise for comfort or rental appeal. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators; services and appliances have not been tested and a buyer survey is recommended.
At approximately 400 sq ft, the accommodation is compact and best suited to a single occupant, couple, or investor targeting the local rental market. Nearby schooling ranges from outstanding primaries to highly regarded secondary and independent options, while local amenities and transport links are within easy reach in this cosmopolitan Kingston neighbourhood.
Transparent positives (allocated parking, long lease, no chain) sit alongside clear practical drawbacks (small size, renovation needed, slow broadband, likely poor wall insulation). Early viewings are sensible for buyers who can take on light refurbishment to unlock the apartment’s potential.
