Description
With far reaching views over Richmond Park from its 22 feet wide private terrace, this stylish one double bedroom, 4th floor flat is situated within the idyllic Queen Mary's Place estate, a friendly cosmopolitan community in Roehampton, a stone's throw from Richmond Park and ideally located for the attractions of Putney, Barnes, Richmond and Wimbledon.
Available for £154,000 for 40 percent share based on the marketing figure of £385,000. Monthly rent - £590.34; Monthly Service Charge - £260.70. Total Monthly Charge - £851.04 plus mortgage required for 40 percent share.
Entering via a broad hallway, one emerges into a bright, open-plan reception room, with adjacent well equipped kitchen. Suffused with natural light from large west-facing windows, French doors open onto the terrace, offering 180 degree views and adding to the overall sense of space.
The bedroom too benefits from west-facing windows and large built-in wardrobe, while the adjacent bathroom, as well as bath and shower, has a generously sized bathroom cabinet. Further storage space can be found in the hallway, including a utility room and large hall cupboard. The property has a heat exchange system that is both efficient and economical.
The property comes with secure, covered parking, while the bus stop directly opposite Queen Mary's Place offers a frequent service to Putney, Barnes, East Sheen and Richmond, including Barnes and Putney railway stations with their connections into Waterloo, and Putney Bridge for the District Line on the Tube.
As well as having Richmond Park on the doorstep, a short walk takes you to Putney Heath and on to Wimbledon Common - with the allure of a pleasant, relaxing stroll to Wimbledon village. Or for more vigorous exercise there is a well-equipped residents' gym, a thirty second stroll away.
Queen Mary's Place enjoys a particularly friendly environment, with a genuine sense of community. The Roehampton University campus, situated on the other side of Roehampton Lane, also lends an appealing, lively buzz to the area.
Even without the numerous plus points, the unique appeal of the development quickly becomes apparent. Firstly, the roads are a calm place with virtually no traffic - quite a rare feature in modern-day London. Added to that, along with numerous eye-pleasing architectural features, there are two formal gardens: a beautifully maintained rose garden and a sunken garden with fountain, overlooked by the magnificent 18th century, Grade I listed Roehampton House.
As a showpiece project of developer St. James, part of the Berkeley Group, the properties at QMP were finished to a high standard, creating a sense of quality living that embraces you when you enter. This feel good factor extends to the immediate environs, indeed the whole of Queen Mary's Place, which provide a kind of decompression zone from the world outside. All in all, this might just be southwest London's best kept secret....
