Summary - Sunbury Street, London, SE18 SE18 5LU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact character home with strong transport links for first-time buyers.
531 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with a 15ft open-plan kitchen/reception
Set within The Old Fire Station, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character and a modern fit-out across a compact 531 sq ft layout. The open-plan kitchen/reception is bright and practical, while the bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and double-glazed sash windows. The building’s Grade II listing gives architectural charm but will restrict alterations and may cause additional consent requirements.
Practical running costs are clear: 117 years remain on the lease (original 125 from 2017), ground rent £350 pa and service charge circa £1,800 pa (approx. £150 pcm). The flat is offered chain free, has an entry phone system, communal internal/external areas and an energy rating of D.
Transport links are a strong selling point for first-time buyers — Woolwich Dockyard, Woolwich mainline, the DLR and Elizabeth Line are within easy reach. Local amenities and several well-regarded schools are close by, though note the immediate area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect resale perceptions.
This property suits someone seeking an affordable, characterful first home or a compact city base with good transport. Factor in restricted alteration potential because of listed status and ongoing service and ground rent costs when assessing value and future plans.
