Summary - 18a York Street TW1 3LD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Central, compact apartment suited to investors or commuting professionals.
Compact one-bedroom flat — 387 sq ft
Set above York Street’s parade of shops, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers straightforward rental potential in the heart of Twickenham. The open-plan living/kitchen and double bedroom sit within 387 sq ft and benefit from double glazing and fast broadband — useful for students or commuting professionals seeking central convenience. The property is offered with no onward chain and an in-excess-of-100-year lease, making legal progression simpler for immediate purchasers.
This is primarily an investor or cash-buyer opportunity: the building’s location amid shops, cafés and direct transport links supports steady tenant demand. There is scope to let quickly either vacant or with a tenant in situ. Council tax is low, and the flat’s compact layout keeps management straightforward.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the flat uses electric storage heaters and the external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating bills may be higher than gas-heated homes. There is no private outdoor space and the apartment sits above commercial premises, with typical high-street urban views. Local crime levels are higher than average, which could factor into tenant mix and pricing strategy.
The block dates from the early 20th century and offers period character externally, but any purchaser should budget for typical urban flat maintenance and consider energy-efficiency upgrades. For an investor seeking a centrally located Twickenham asset with immediate rental appeal and a long lease, this represents a straightforward, small-footprint holding.
