Step into a spacious one-bedroom apartment in a recently built, centrally located Sutton development. At over 700 sq ft, the open-plan living/dining/kitchen area and large bedroom give an unusually generous feel for a one-bed, making the flat work well for comfortable everyday living or for entertaining friends. A private balcony and allocated off-street parking add practical outdoor and transport conveniences.
The apartment is presented in excellent internal order with modern fittings throughout and elevated views from the second floor. The long lease (241 years) reduces long-term leasehold risk, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal suits home working. Proximity to three train stations and local amenities places shops, cafes and schools within easy reach.
Buyers should note the development sits in an area with higher crime rates and relative deprivation; this may affect resale or rental desirability for some purchasers. The property is leasehold with a service charge of around £1,967 pa and annual ground rent of £425; communal heating is provided via a community scheme. These ongoing costs and communal arrangements are important to factor into affordability and budgeting.
Overall, this apartment offers roomy, modern living in a convenient town-centre location. It will suit first-time buyers who want space and low immediate maintenance, or investors looking for a well-presented one-bed close to transport links — provided they account for service charges and local area characteristics.
