Set on the ground floor of a handsome period conversion, this compact flat offers practical city living with clear upside. High ceilings and a sash-style bay bring character to the main reception, while a modern fitted kitchen and double glazing keep running costs reasonable. A private rear garden provides outdoor space rarely found at this price in SW18.
The layout is adaptable — use it as a one-bedroom with separate reception and dining space or as a two-bedroom with a snug. Planning permission to extend into the side return creates straightforward potential to increase living space and value (subject to build costs and approvals). The flat is well-presented but modest in size, suited to buyers seeking an efficient, characterful London home or a buy-to-let with upside.
Practical points: the property is leasehold with about 135 years remaining, an EPC rating of C and a below-average service charge. There is no confirmed wall insulation (solid brick construction assumed), and local crime rates are above average; buyers should factor potential insulation upgrades and security measures into plans. Proximity to Earlsfield station, local shops and King George’s Park adds daily convenience and appeal.
