Spacious one-bedroom in central Richmond with modern finishes and a long lease.
Top-floor one-bedroom, roughly 600 sq ft, spacious layout
This top-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, spacious feel uncommon at this size. High ceilings and large windows flood the open-plan living and kitchen with natural light; solid wood floors and a contemporary bathroom keep the interior feeling fresh and move-in ready. At roughly 600 sq ft the layout suits a single buyer or couple seeking generous proportions in central Richmond.
The building is an older, Art Deco-style mixed-use property with retail at street level and double glazing fitted after 2002. The long lease (148 years remaining) and modest annual service charge (£1,581.66) make ownership straightforward for a leasehold purchase. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and nearby schools and abundant local amenities suit everyday life.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and relies on electric-fired heating with a boiler and radiators. The EPC is D and the immediate area records very high crime levels—buyers should factor locality-related insurance and security considerations into their plans. The mixed-use nature of the building means there may be typical town-centre activity at street level.
Overall this apartment is a well-presented, characterful central Richmond home with strong transport and amenity access, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking space and ready-to-live-in finishes, provided they are comfortable with leasehold tenure and the urban setting.
