1 bed flat for sale

196 West Hill, London SW15

Guide Price: £325,000 – £350,000 Set within a sought-after and well-kept block on desirable West Hill, this beautifully presented top floor one-bedroom flat offers a fantastic first home in Putney. Originally a studio, the apartment has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a separate bedroom, with large double glazed windows providing excellent natural light with additional two skylights not available in lower floor flats, and a peaceful leafy outlook over the communal gardens and neighbouring greenery.

The property enjoys a quiet position at the rear of the building, away from the road, giving a calm sense of retreat while still being close to the vibrant lifestyle of Putney. Putney High Street is just a short distance away, offering a wealth of cafés, restaurants, and shops. Popular spots include Grind for coffee, Home SW15 for brunch, and the acclaimed Bistro Vadouvan on the riverfront for dinner with a view. Alongside established chains like Pret and Gail’s, there are plenty of independent bakeries, wine bars, and stylish eateries, making the area perfect for relaxed weekends or evenings out.

For those who enjoy traditional pubs, The Green Man and The Telegraph are nearby, both offering welcoming atmospheres and food, while riverside pubs such as The Duke’s Head and The Boathouse provide lively social settings by the Thames. Everyday shopping is made easy with Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and local convenience stores within walking distance.

Transport connections are excellent. Numerous bus routes stop almost outside, linking directly to Putney High Street, Wimbledon, Roehampton, Wandsworth, Clapham and beyond. Putney railway station is just over a mile away, with frequent services into London Waterloo in under 20 minutes. East Putney Underground (District Line) is also within easy reach, providing quick access to Earl’s Court, Victoria, and the City. For drivers, the A3 is moments away, offering swift routes out of London towards Surrey and the South Coast.

The block itself is very well maintained, with attractive communal gardens at both the front and back. A modern new lift was installed in 2024, while new paving and pathways at the front completed October 2025. Residents benefit from secure allocated parking in the underground car park, a bicycle lock-up unit, and the convenience of Wandsworth Council Tax, the lowest in the country.

Inside, the flat offers finger parquet flooring beneath the carpet, ample fitted storage, and a bright, airy layout thanks to its large double glazed windows. With a lease of 163 years remaining, an Energy Rating of C, a peppercorn ground rent and a service charge of just £1601 per annum, it represents a strong long-term investment. Sky Full Fibre 150 broadband is currently connected, offering speeds of up to 152 Mb/s, perfect for home working.

Combining style, convenience and excellent value, this top floor flat is a rare opportunity to secure a home in one of Putney’s most desirable addresses, offering both the buzz of London life and the calm of nearby green open spaces
