Two-bedroom gated flat near top schools and stations, ideal for families or investors..
Gated development with allocated parking space
This two-bedroom apartment in a gated John Austin Close development offers practical family living with clear long-term security. The layout includes a bright reception room and two well-proportioned double bedrooms, the main with an en-suite, plus a separate family bathroom. Allocated parking and a new 161-year lease add tangible convenience and peace of mind.
Location is a strong selling point: a short walk to Kingston town centre, excellent transport links (Kingston and Norbiton stations and easy A3 access), riverside walks and close proximity to highly regarded schools including Kingston Grammar and Tiffin. The area is affluent and well served for shops, cafés and leisure.
There are some material considerations to note. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and the kitchen — while modern in layout with fitted units and space for appliances — needs some updating. Service charges average around £1,100 per year and local crime levels are recorded as very high; these factors should be weighed alongside the home’s positives.
Overall, the flat suits families or professionals seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home with long lease security and parking. It also presents straightforward rental or investment potential for buyers prepared to upgrade the kitchen and accept electric heating and service charge costs.
