Luxury Studio – Private entrance, bills inc.

Living area and bed shelf

Set within The Old Stables, a beautifully renovated former stable building in the heart of historic Carshalton, this is a highly individual, self-contained studio apartment with its own private front door directly onto the street.

The studio has a particularly spacious feel for this type of property and feels closer in scale and character to a compact one-bedroom apartment than a conventional studio. High ceilings create a light, open atmosphere, while two large roof skylights bring in an exceptional amount of natural light.

The layout makes very good use of the available space, with distinct areas for living, cooking and sleeping. The raised sleeping platform is large enough to accommodate a king-size mattress, with useful additional storage space beyond the end of the bed. The photographs currently show a rope guard around the sleeping area, although alternative arrangements can be discussed.

The kitchen area includes a desktop oven with grill, two-ring hob and fridge. A separate utility area provides a washing machine and mini freezer.

The bathroom is also more generous than you might expect in a studio, with a roomy shower with strong water flow, WC and large basin.

The property can be offered part-furnished or furnished by arrangement, depending on what suits the incoming tenant best.

Regular buses run from the end of the road towards Croydon in one direction and Morden town centre in the other, and St Helier Hospital is around 10 minutes away by bus.

The location is one of the property’s strongest features. The Grove is around 30 seconds from the front door, providing a large and attractive green space with a brook and waterfall.
