Bright and practical, this two-bedroom ground-floor period conversion balances original character with contemporary fittings. At about 754 sq ft, the flat offers two double bedrooms, a stylish bathroom and an open-plan living area that flows into a modern kitchen with integrated appliances — ready for everyday living.
Outside space is a strong asset: a private decked garden backs onto the River Quaggy and provides a peaceful spot for relaxing or entertaining. Practical conveniences include off-street parking and an electric-vehicle charging port. Transport and amenities are close by, with Hither Green station and Lewisham town centre within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note some material points: the building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls likely without insulation, so additional thermal upgrades may be desirable. The property sits in an area with relatively high crime and wider area deprivation, and there is a medium flooding risk. The flat is leasehold with around 121 years remaining; annual costs are reported as a £1,000 service charge and £250 ground rent.
This home will suit first-time buyers and couples seeking a sensible starter property with garden and parking, and buyers willing to invest modestly in insulation or aesthetic updates. The mix of period features, contemporary kitchen, private outside space and good transport links gives clear everyday appeal while leaving scope to add value over time.
