This compact first-floor one-bedroom flat sits within a handsome Victorian building and offers an affordable entry into M21. At about 375 sq ft the layout is efficient: an open-plan living/kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in storage and a shower room. A private balcony overlooks landscaped communal gardens, adding outdoor space that's rare at this size.
Practical aspects suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers: the lease has around 124 years remaining and the sale is chain-free. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the local area provides wide amenities, good schools and frequent transport links, making everyday life convenient.
Buyers should note the property is small and uses electric room heaters rather than a central heating system, which may affect running costs. The building has solid brick walls with no confirmed cavity insulation and the double glazing install date is unknown; some energy improvements could be needed. Service charges average £1,416 a year — factor this into affordability calculations.
Overall this apartment combines period curb appeal with modern interior styling and a private balcony. It works well for first-time buyers seeking a low-hassle purchase or investors wanting a centrally located one-bed with immediate rental potential, provided running-cost and maintenance considerations are accepted.
