This first-floor, four-bedroom apartment on Whitton High Street offers clear appeal for investors and buyers seeking generous room proportions in a town-centre location. Set above retail units, the property includes a fitted kitchen, two ensuite shower/WCs plus a further family shower room and separate WC, and a private roof terrace. Reported rental income of £2,900pcm currently produces a gross yield around 7.7% at the asking price.
Important leasehold facts are material: 83 years remain on the lease and there is a small ground rent of £150. An 83-year term will restrict mortgage options for some buyers and will require timely lease extension to protect long-term value — a likely significant cost. The flat is offered with sitting tenants who are reported as keen to stay, which is useful for an investor but means vacant-possession purchasers should allow time for any change of occupancy.
The accommodation benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and neutral decoration, and is within easy walking distance of Whitton station, shops and local amenities. Outdoor space is limited to the small roof/terrace only; there is no private garden. The building is of solid brick construction (pre‑1900) and internal insulation has been added, but the property’s compact overall footprint and mixed room layout mean it will suit buyers who prioritise location and rental return over garden space.
Note local context: the area is affluent with very good schools nearby, strong public transport links and excellent mobile signal, but recorded crime levels are high — a factual consideration for some buyers. Broadband speeds are average. Overall this is a pragmatic investment or owner‑occupier opportunity with clear upside if the lease is extended and some updating is undertaken.
