Wingfield Road, Parkside Court, KT2

A sensibly priced North Kingston apartment that gives a buyer parking, a share of freehold, a quiet Richmond Park setting and more usable space than many one-bedroom flats in higher price brackets. For those on a smaller budget, but wanting the best postcodes in London, this is it.

Quietly set close to Richmond Park, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment brings together the things buyers are often asked to compromise on: off-street parking, a share of freehold, no ground rent and approximately 506 sq ft of well-separated living space. The reception and bedroom overlook the shared rear lawn, while the kitchen has room for dining and Norbiton station is around 0.82 miles away for trains towards Waterloo. For this price there is no compromise.

Living it large.

The reception room measures approximately 14 ft 10 in by 10 ft 4 in, with wood-effect flooring and a window looking across the communal lawn behind the building.

Alongside, the kitchen/breakfast room measures approximately 10 ft 3 in by 8 ft 7 in, leaving space for a dining table and chairs. White-fronted units provide plenty of cupboard and worktop space, with brick-style tiled splashbacks, an integrated hob and built-in oven. There is also room for a washing machine, slimline dishwasher and upright fridge-freezer.

Keeping the kitchen and reception separate gives the apartment two distinct living spaces, rather than asking one room to accommodate everything.

Take a walk on the quiet side.

Parkside Court sits within Wingfield Road, a peaceful residential crescent made up largely of houses and bungalows.

The apartment occupies the ground floor at the rear of the building, with its principal rooms facing away from the forecourt and towards the shared grassed garden. It offers a greener outlook and a noticeably quieter setting than many flats at a similar price point.

The double bedroom measures approximately 10 ft 10 in by 10 ft 4 in, excluding the built-in wardrobe cupboards. The bathroom includes a bath with electric shower and screen above, a fitted basin cabinet, additional wall storage and tiled flooring.

An L-shaped hallway adds further storage, including a shelved airing cupboard housing the hot-water cylinder.

Park the car. Walk to the Park.

A numbered parking space is allocated to the apartment in the forecourt immediately outside the building.

Kingston Gate into Richmond Park is close by, with Dinton Fields providing another open space nearer home. This combination of parking, ground-floor access and major green space within easy reach gives the apartment practical advantages that are difficult to add later.

No grounds for rent. Over 100 years not out.

The property is sold with a share of the freehold, and the seller advises that no ground rent is payable.

The associated lease has approximately 105 years remaining, giving buyers clarity over the tenure from the outset.

From park gate to platform.

Tudor Drive provides local shops, a Post Office and library, with further amenities available on Kings Road and Park Road.

Several bus stops are within approximately 0.1 mile, while Norbiton station is around 0.82 miles away for services towards London Waterloo.

Ultrafast broadband of up to 1,000 Mbps is indicated as available, adding another important practical advantage for home working, streaming and connected living. Buyers should confirm the service available with their chosen provider.

Latchmere, St Agatha’s and Alexandra primary schools are all within approximately half a mile, with The Kingston Academy and Tiffin Girls’ School around 0.6 miles away.
