Characterful SW5 apartment with balcony and flexible layout potential.
Large 641 sq ft first-floor flat with high ceilings and bay window
This first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers impressive Victorian proportions in a sought-after SW5 location. High ceilings, a full-height bay window and a working fireplace give the principal reception room strong character and generous natural light. The living space measures approx. 641 sq ft and includes a private balcony and off-street residents’ parking.
The layout is flexible: the current open-plan arrangement can be reconfigured economically to create a second bedroom or have sliding doors added for a flexible one/two-bed solution. The property is sold as a share of freehold with a long lease (979 years) — an ownership position that will suit buyers looking for long-term security.
Buyers should note practical facts: the building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls (likely lacking insulation), the EPC is a D, heating is mains gas boiler with radiators, and the service charge is approximately £3,141 per year. Council tax is in Band F and therefore expensive. The immediate area records higher crime levels and is described as very deprived, which may concern some purchasers.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor wanting a characterful central-London home that can be adapted to increase rental or resale value. It requires routine updating rather than full refurbishment, so buyers can personalise the space while benefiting from the long lease and residents’ parking.
