1 bedroom flat for sale

This beautifully presented one-double-bedroom apartment oozes character, situated on the top floor of an imposing Victorian end-of-terrace house with sweeping views across Richmond, voted the ‘happiest place to live’ in the UK. Located just 300 yards from the river and an even closer short walk from the shops, it’s perfectly positioned on a highly desirable and tranquil residential road. The station is only an 0.4 mile walk, with a host of bus routes nearby.

Spanning approximately 680 sq ft, the property is flooded with light from its triple-aspect configuration with windows on three sides. The layout features an open-plan kitchen-reception area, a double bedroom with Velux window and fitted wardrobes, with a well-appointed bathroom. The large stairwell and landing have additional built-in storage with considerable loft space above. Characterful sloping eaves, chestnut wood-effect flooring, and a gorgeous cream-enamelled gas fireplace add to its considerable charm.

Airy and well-ventilated in summer, the apartment is super-cosy in winter thanks to gas-fired central heating and a powerful gas stove in the living room. The property is part of a friendly community of four freeholders and their tenants, and the communal areas have been freshly redecorated.

This is a digital nomad’s dream with many transport connections and a proven income generator for investors seeking a foothold in Richmond. The proximity to the river and Richmond lifestyle makes this a compelling option for first-time buyers.

The property further benefits from having a share of the freehold and is offered with no onward chain.
