This two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a compact, affordable entry into SL1 town-centre living. At about 420 sq ft the layout includes a separate living room, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom — practical for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a lettable unit close to local amenities and transport.
The building provides double glazing, Economy 7 electric heating and off-street communal parking, with well-kept communal grounds and an entryphone system. The flat is leasehold with 99 years remaining, a ground rent of £100 and an annual service charge of approximately £1,992 — important running costs to factor into affordability calculations.
The interior is serviceable but dated in places: fitted carpets, an ornate electric fire, laminated kitchen surfaces and vinyl bathroom flooring. Cosmetic updating would significantly improve appeal and value; there is clear scope for modernisation rather than structural work. Note the area’s high crime statistics and local deprivation, which will influence resale and rental demand.
Suitable for a cost-conscious first-time buyer or an investor seeking a town-centre asset, this apartment delivers location and basic amenities but requires realistic budgeting for service charges, ongoing heating costs and cosmetic refurbishment.
