This newly refurbished two-bedroom second-floor period conversion offers a bright, modern home in the heart of Tooting. High ceilings and large windows create a light, airy open-plan living and kitchen area finished with quartz worktops and contemporary fittings. A well-kept shared garden provides outdoor space rarely found with flats of this size.
Practical running costs are a clear strength: cheap service charge and low council tax help keep ongoing expenses down. Transport links are excellent — Tooting Broadway, Tooting and Colliers Wood stations are all within a short walk, making commutes straightforward for work or leisure.
The flat is compact at around 337 sq ft, so it suits first-time buyers, city professionals, or a buy-to-let investor seeking strong rental appeal rather than families needing large living areas. There’s a basement for additional storage, but this is not presented as habitable space.
Buyers should note the property is an older building (pre-1900) with solid brick walls that are assumed to lack cavity insulation. While recently modernised internally, further insulation or upgrading works could be considered to improve thermal performance. Overall, this is a bright, low-cost-to-run central London flat with contemporary style and sensible potential for improvement.
