Abbey Wall

Abbey Wall – Landmark Residential Development in SW19

Abbey Wall by IndigoScott 66 apartments in a buzzy part of southwest London. It sits in a spot where a tranquil, historic neighborhood meets the up-and-coming High Path, blending old-fashioned charm with hip style. The building’s design, with brick walls and canted roofs, bronze-colored windows, was inspired by old factories in the area.

Each unit has a private balcony or terrace, and all residents have access to the two roof gardens. There is parking for those with disabilities, secure bike storage, and a free car club membership for three years for all residents. Near the River Wandle and Merton Abbey Mills, culture, fun, and interesting shopping are accessible. That makes it a great place to live.

Interior Specification and Architectural Detailing

It’s clear that the people who built the Abbey Wall paid attention to detail both within apartments and in shared spaces. The building features special double-glazing on the windows, two main entrances that are accessible via lobbies made from tile flooring, and a system for video inquiries by visitors. Carpeted elevators and stairwells service the second floor in blocks of three. Trash and bike storage are on the first floor. The building has a 10-year warranty applicable to the structure.

The kitchens feature contemporary cabinetry, composite stone counters, and appliances, including an induction stove, oven, dishwasher, and fridge/​freezer. A washer and dryer are also included. Kitchens, living rooms, and hallways have wood floors, while bedrooms are carpeted, and bathrooms have tiled floors. The bathrooms boast items such as wall-hung toilets, showers of water that don’t deviate from the perfect temperature, heated towel bars, large mirrors, and black taps. The apartments are also underpinned by underfloor heating, recessed lighting, and dimming controls.

Connectivity, Sustainability and Investment Context

Southwest London is all within easy reach of Abbey Wall. The South Wimbledon and Colliers Wood stations are within walking distance, and the Wimbledon train station has service to London Waterloo. Tram stops are within a 15-minute walk, and there are a number of bus routes along Merton High Street. It’s about 17 minutes to London Waterloo, and about 27 minutes to Bank.

Eco-friendliness was a major priority. Each apartment has a favorable energy-efficiency rating, due to insulation and efficient appliances, as well as double-glazed windows. Solar panels are used to power the shared areas, and a system of vents keeps the air clean and minimizes heating use. The building has below-average carbon emissions, so it's better for the environment.

According to London market data, you can anticipate earning 2.5% to 4.5% in rent per year and could see the value of the property rise by about 5% to 10% per square meter. That gives you an idea of whether it’s a good idea to buy an apartment in this area. The apartments were first sold by the developer, but these are for resale; prices may have shifted.
