Summary - 40 VILLIERS CLOSE SURBITON KT5 8DN
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact two-bedroom home with long lease and private garden, ideal for first-time buyers.
Quiet cul-de-sac location, easy access to Surbiton and Kingston
This first-floor two-bedroom maisonette sits in a quiet cul-de-sac, a short ride from Surbiton and Kingston. The living room is bright with original parquet floors and a brick fireplace, and the property includes a separate kitchen, private garden and driveway. With a long lease of 929 years and no onward chain, it is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer.
The apartment is compact at about 590 sq ft, so it will suit buyers seeking a manageable first home or a low-maintenance pied-à-terre. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and some rooms show their age: the kitchen and bathroom are dated and the property would benefit from cosmetic updating. Cavity walls are as-built with assumed no added insulation.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — all useful for modern living or working from home. Local schools range from well-rated state primaries to top independent secondaries, and nearby shops, buses and leisure facilities make day-to-day life convenient.
Note the property is leasehold and sold as-is; while the long lease removes a common barrier, buyers should budget for updating and potential energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is described as affordable, and the location in a very affluent area supports long-term value.
