This top-floor one-bedroom apartment combines period character with modern finishes, set in a Tudor-Revival semi-detached building just minutes from Walton mainline station. The living room retains an attractive period fireplace and benefits from a large window that brings natural light into a contemporary space. The fitted kitchen has integrated appliances and the bathroom is fully tiled with a corner bath and shower for a refreshed, ready-to-live-in feel.
Practical strengths include a double-sized bedroom, efficient gas central heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing, and an affordable council tax band. The property is offered as a share of freehold and includes a lawned, decked garden shared with only one other flat — useful outside space for a town-centre setting. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working and streaming.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s solid brick walls were constructed 1900–1929 and are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be desirable. The apartment occupies an upper/attic conversion level requiring stair access, which may limit mobility. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, a factor to weigh against the convenience of central Walton and the quick rail link to Waterloo.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or commuter seeking a compact, characterful home with immediate access to transport and local schools. It also offers modest scope to increase efficiency and value through insulation and sympathetic updating while retaining period features.
