Summary - 44, Chetwode Road SW17 7RF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Easy walk to Tooting Bec station and nearby shops and parks.
Share of freehold with an exceptionally long 991-year lease
This stylish one-bedroom apartment combines period character with a contemporary fit-out, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking convenience and low on-going maintenance. The open-plan kitchen and living area feels bright and spacious, with high ceilings and wood flooring that create an airy, comfortable living space. A generous bedroom with extensive built-in storage plus an additional 83 sq ft of eaves storage helps keep the main rooms uncluttered.
The property benefits from a very long lease (effectively 991 years) and a share of freehold, reducing future lease costs and providing ownership stability. Transport links are excellent: Tooting Bec Underground is around 0.1 miles away and Balham station under a mile, making commutes straightforward. Local amenities and green space are within easy reach, including Tooting Common and Balham High Road.
Practical considerations: the EPC rating is E, and the building is traditional solid brick with no assumed insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements would cut bills and increase value. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. The surrounding area is an inner-city cosmopolitan location with above-average crime, so buyers should consider security measures and local safety information.
Overall this apartment offers a well-presented, conveniently located home with real potential to improve energy performance and personalise finishes, appealing to first-time buyers or investors wanting reliable rental demand in SW17.
