This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an efficient, low-maintenance base in central Leatherhead with its own private entrance and covered allocated parking. At 432 sq ft it’s compact but well laid out, with an open-plan kitchen/diner that maximises usable space and a good-sized bathroom. Built in 2003, the development comprises just six apartments, giving a quieter feel than larger blocks.
Practical running costs are clear: a 103-year lease remaining, an average service charge of £1,456 pa and a small ground rent of £100 pa. Heating is electric via room heaters (no communal gas), so buyers should expect higher heating costs than gas-heated properties and consider future energy planning. Broadband and mobile signal are average for the area.
Location is a primary strength — a short walk to Leatherhead town centre and mainline station, with local shops, buses and several well-regarded schools nearby. The covered allocated parking and private gated entrance add convenience and security for commuters or those wanting easy access.
Buyers should note material negatives: the apartment is small (suitable for singles or couples rather than families), the local crime level is recorded as very high, and electric room heating may mean higher utility bills. The property is chain-free, making it straightforward to move into or let as an investment for the right purchaser.
