Well-located convenience for first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance city living.
Second-floor one-double bedroom flat, well-arranged living/dining workspace
Light, compact and well-positioned, this second-floor one-bedroom flat is aimed at a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance London entry point. The living space is cleverly arranged to accommodate living, dining and a workstation, while the bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and benefits from good natural light. The block is tidy with communal gardens and an allocated off-street parking space — rare for the area.
Practical running costs are straightforward: an EPC C rating, double glazing and mains services help efficiency, though the property uses electric storage heaters and electricity as the main fuel. The flat is leasehold with around 91 years remaining; service charge and ground rent are modest at £840 pa and £95 pa respectively. Broadband speeds are reported slow, which could matter if you work from home frequently.
Size and layout make this apartment best suited to a single occupant or couple. At about 345 sq ft, rooms are compact but well planned; the kitchen has plentiful cupboards and worktop space and the bathroom offers good extraction and storage. The location is the standout: a short walk to Colliers Wood tube, retail parks, gyms and eateries — convenient for commuting and local life.
This property presents sensible buy-to-live potential or a straightforward rental investment in an affluent, inner-city neighbourhood. Be aware of the small footprint and electric heating when comparing running costs and comfort to gas-heated homes.
