A neatly presented first-floor one-bedroom apartment arranged in a purpose-built block, offered with no onward chain and an allocated off-street parking space. The bright reception room opens onto a separate kitchen, and the layout includes an average-sized double bedroom, modern family bathroom and handy hallway storage — a compact, practical home for a single buyer or couple.
Positioned a short walk from Morden Northern Line station and the town centre’s shops, cafés and restaurants, the flat delivers genuine commuter convenience. Morden Hall Park and several well-regarded schools are nearby, adding local amenity appeal. The property has a solid lease (about 150 years remaining), an EPC rating of C and mains gas central heating.
Costs and area facts are straightforward: annual service charges run at about £1,968.70 and ground rent is a peppercorn. The immediate neighbourhood is mixed and classified as more deprived than average, with average local crime levels — factors to weigh for long-term resale or lettability. The apartment was built in the 1980s and has double glazing installed before 2002, so some elements may need refresh over time.
For first-time buyers this represents an affordable entry into the SM4 market with immediate access to transport and local amenities. Buy-to-let investors should note the reasonable running costs and commuter demand but also consider the area profile and service charge when modelling yields.
