Characterful Victorian one-bed with large loft, minutes from Surbiton station.
Top-floor one-bedroom conversion with high ceilings and bay window
This spacious top-floor one-bedroom conversion occupies a red-brick Victorian building and offers generous living space uncommon in one-bed flats. The principal reception benefits from a large bay window, high ceilings and a period fireplace, while a separate contemporary kitchen provides integrated appliances and practical workspace. A good-sized double bedroom retains period character and has loft access via a ladder to a large, bright loft space — useful for storage or potential conversion (subject to consent).
Practical ownership is straightforward: the property is sold as a share of the freehold with over 900 years remaining on the lease and a modest service charge (around £90 pcm). Its cul-de-sac location is within comfortable walking distance of Surbiton mainline station, the town high street, Kingston town centre and the Thames, making it very well placed for commuting, shopping and riverside leisure.
Notable considerations are presented plainly: the flat sits in a solid-brick property of 1930–1949 and external walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. Loft access is via a ladder, so the upper space is currently best suited to storage or occasional use unless adapted. There is a communal rear garden rather than a private outdoor area, and the layout includes a separate WC in addition to the bathroom.
Overall this is a characterful, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment that will suit a first buyer or couple seeking period features, generous room sizes and excellent local links. Buyers looking for fully modern thermal performance or immediate ground-floor outdoor privacy should factor in potential upgrade works.
