A compact one-bedroom apartment in a converted stone chapel, ideal as a starter home or buy-to-let. The first-floor flat benefits from generous natural light, period character externally and a small private garden — unusual for a town-centre flat. Chain-free sale and a low ground rent make the purchase straightforward for a buyer seeking quick completion.
The accommodation is modest but well laid out: lounge with fireplace, fitted kitchen with combi boiler, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom with shower over bath. The property requires mostly cosmetic updating (carpets and finishes) rather than major structural work, presenting an opportunity to add value with relatively low-cost improvements.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold (lease started 1995; documents give differing remaining terms — buyer should verify exact remaining years), ground rent quoted at £10 pa and council tax Band A. The area has fast broadband and convenient local amenities, but recorded local crime is high; consider this when assessing suitability for long-term occupation or rental.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable entry into Richmond or an investor looking for a compact rental with period appeal. The combination of town-centre location, private garden and low running costs (mains gas heating, cheap council tax) are the main attractions, balanced by the need for light refurbishment and clarity on the lease length.
