Two double bedrooms with high ceilings and period features
Set on Merton Road and a short walk from South Wimbledon Underground, this two-double-bedroom period garden flat offers spacious living, high ceilings and a large private rear garden — a rare outside space for a ground-floor apartment in SW19. The open-plan kitchen/dining area and generous lounge make the layout flexible for entertaining or working from home. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and nearby schools and amenities add practical appeal for first-time buyers and small families.
The flat is offered chain free on a long lease (approximately 149 years remaining) with modest running costs: service charge around £400 pa, building insurance listed and ground rent £50. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. At about 773 sq ft, the property sits in a solid brick Victorian building with period sash windows and original features that give character and scope for sympathetic updating.
Notable considerations are presented plainly: the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, so improvements may be needed to optimise energy efficiency. There is one bathroom serving two double bedrooms. Local crime levels are reported as above average for the area, which some buyers will want to investigate further. Overall, this apartment suits buyers seeking spacious period character with outdoor space and good transport links, and those willing to carry out modest modernisation to increase comfort and value.
