Summary - BARKWITH HOUSE FLAT 1 COLD BLOW LANE LONDON SE14 5RB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright newly renovated apartment a short walk to New Cross Gate and Goldsmiths.
Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, 539 sq ft
This chain-free, two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers a compact 539 sq ft layout recently refreshed throughout. The flat is move-in ready after renovation, benefits from double glazing and allocated off-street parking — useful assets for city living. With a long lease (110 years) and reasonable ground rent, it suits buyers who want straightforward ownership without immediate major works.
Positioned about 0.5 miles from New Cross Gate and South Bermondsey stations, the location is a strong commuter draw; Goldsmiths University and local shops, cafés and bars are within easy walking distance. The area attracts inner-city cosmopolitan residents and New EU tech workers, which supports rental demand if purchased as an investment.
There are practical drawbacks to note: the property has no central heating system (electric heaters are assumed), broadband speeds are recorded as very slow, and local crime levels are above average. Service charge and ground rent are present (service charge listed around £1,490 and ground rent £200), and the neighbourhood is classified as deprived — factors to consider for both living comfort and future resale or letting.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a compact, low-maintenance starter home close to transport links, or investors wanting a conveniently located rental with good tenant demand. Buyers should verify service charge and lease details, confirm heating provision, and check broadband options before committing.
