Usborne Mews, Oval, London, SW8

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a spacious and recently renovated one-bedroom apartment, with a private garage and situated in a beautiful mews development, just a stone’s throw from Oval Station. EPC Rating C.

The Mews estate is bordered by high boundary walls, which keep it secure and private from the properties in Fentiman Road and Richborne Terrace. The vehicular access is from Carroun Road and there is a locked pedestrian gate from Palfrey Place. Each of the 38 flats or houses has its own garage and all the properties, originally sold on 999-year leases in 1986, have a share of the freehold.

In 2019 the flat was fully refurbished and has remained unoccupied since; therefore, it is completely untouched and move in ready. There is a brand-new Worcester Bosch condensing boiler with Hive control system and the wiring has been totally replaced from the main fuse onward, with heat and smoke alarms incorporated, all LED lighting and metal faced switch and socket outlet plates. The entire flat has been laid with polished engineered oak flooring with polished oak skirting. All the internal doors are new oak faced doors with new stainless-steel ironmongery.

A compact kitchen spans one wall of the L-shaped living room and incorporates all Neff appliances (refrigerator, freezer, microwave oven, induction hob with telescopic, ducted extract hood over). An oven is built-in below the quartz worktop, as is the dishwasher. The white ceramic under-slung sink is served by a three-way mixer tap with boiling water tank and filter.

Large sash windows in the living room overlook the landscaped communal front garden, filling the room with natural light. There is ample space for a sizeable sofa, armchairs, coffee tables and a dining table and chairs to seat six in the living room.

The limestone tiled bathroom incorporates a Grohe shower toilet with remote control, a Roca basin and a Grohe ‘Rain Dance’ shower system enclosed by a frameless glass shower screen. A new, quiet extractor fan with humidistat has also been installed.

The double bedroom has a space for a king-size bed, bedside tables and there is a built-in wardrobe with mirror doors.

Adjacent to the bathroom is a utility cupboard plumbed for washing machine installation; there is currently a Neff washing machine with condenser dryer function. The hallway has been modified to incorporate a small built-in desktop with shelving over, providing an ideal workstation, separate to the living room. There is a new intercom unit linked to the main entrance door.

Usborne Mews is an attractive and quiet mews that extends between Palfrey Place and Carroun Road and lies parallel with the southern half of Fentiman Road. The open green space of Vauxhall Park is a short walk away and the Fentiman Arms is always a nice spot to stop by for a quick refreshment or two!
