This architect designed, new build, one bedroom, first floor, split-level maisonette, with a roof terrace is an ideal and unique opportunity to live a sustainable lifestyle with ease and in comfort in London.
All rooms are large, of good proportion, bright and airy and finished to a high standard. Bike parking, recycling and composting facilities are provided.
Positioned in a quiet secluded courtyard in central Kingston upon Thames, 2 minutes walk from the train station with direct links to Central London (20 mins). Royal parks and the River Thames are within easy walking distance.
This maisonette is part of a four flat development, completed Nov 2007 and has full Zurich new build cover for 10 years. After one year occupancy the freehold will pass to the 4 lease holders.
* Early estimates from a newly occupied flat in the development suggests that the gas central heating and hot water will cost approximately £30.00 for the winter quarter. The low energy lights, ‘A’ rated appliances and induction cooker are expected to mean that electrical bills are substantially reduced.
** No Ground Rent. Service charge covering water, landlord electricity, building insurance and maintenance. £990 per annum.
*** No official accreditation applied for. The building has been nominated for a civic pride award.
