This first-floor one-bedroom flat in SW16 offers a modern, well-proportioned layout across 508 sq ft, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate move-in. The building, constructed 2007–2011, provides secure communal living with concierge, gym, communal garden and a roof terrace — useful extras that enhance day-to-day comfort and rental appeal.
Internally the apartment has a bright reception room, a good-sized double bedroom with built-in storage, a contemporary fitted kitchen and bathroom. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are fitted; the property is ready to occupy without major works. The flat is chain free and benefits from a long lease (circa 100 years), which simplifies purchase and provides tenure security.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: heating is wholly electric storage-based, which can be more costly than gas alternatives and may affect running costs. The flat is leasehold, so service charges and ground rent apply (not specified). The surrounding area is classified as relatively deprived and crime is average — prospective buyers should view the neighbourhood to assess suitability.
Transport links are strong with nearby bus routes and local rail access into central London, while local shops, cafes and community amenities are within easy reach. The combination of communal facilities, long lease and chain-free status makes this a straightforward purchase for someone seeking a low-maintenance city home or an investment with tenant appeal.
