Light-filled fifth-floor apartment near Richmond Park for first-time buyers.
One double bedroom with generous proportions
Bright one-bedroom flat on the fifth floor of a purpose-built block, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located South West London home. The flat has a generously sized double bedroom, a light reception room that opens onto a private balcony with leafy views, and a separate kitchen with large windows that bring in abundant daylight. Proximity to Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common gives immediate access to large green spaces and outdoor recreation.
Practical details support ownership confidence: a long lease (115 years remaining), double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, and fast broadband/mobile signal. Service charge is notable and should be factored into monthly costs; council tax is very low which offsets some running costs. The block was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents an opportunity to add value through cosmetic updating or minor modernisation.
Be clear about drawbacks: the area records higher crime and local deprivation indicators, so buyers should consider security and personal comfort levels and check local data. The building’s era and communal maintenance can mean periodic works and associated costs. Prospective purchasers are recommended to commission a survey and review the detailed service charge and leasehold documentation before committing.
This flat will suit someone who values light, outdoor space and easy access to green lungs, while being prepared to personalise interiors. Good transport links to Putney and local amenities make it a practical base for commuting professionals or a straightforward lettable asset for investors.
