I wonder if a manual one plus a cheap compact electric strimmer might not be the best route.
TBH I can't think of ever seeing a mower that goes up to an edge, so would be curious what you find.

Precisely what I do.
Having a manual roller mower is great. Little bit of exercise, zero faff with cables or batteries. Also, if you get the cut right, the roller gives stripes. Don't get stripes with a flymo.
The strimmer comes out (very) occasionally to do the edges.
To be honest with a lawn your size, you could do the edges with a pair of scissors or some kind of edging shears.

My new lawn needs cutting so I need a lawnmower. It's got sleepers bordering three sides so I need something that will go right up to the edge and ideally lightweight and compact.
