Set above Eltham High Street, this bright one-bedroom flat combines a modern open-plan layout with excellent local amenities and fast rail links into central London. Large windows and a Juliet balcony deliver plenty of natural light, while the compact footprint offers straightforward, low-maintenance living ideal for a first-time buyer or city commuter.
Practical benefits include a long lease (about 164 years remaining), secure gated off-street parking and no recorded flood risk. The building is a purpose-built, late-1990s/early-2000s brick block with communal entry and appears well maintained from the exterior. Eltham Station is roughly 0.6 miles away with direct trains to London Bridge in around 20 minutes, and frequent buses connect to Greenwich, Blackheath and Woolwich.
Location is a genuine selling point: shops, cafés, restaurants, a cinema and local parks (Eltham Park, Avery Hill Park and nearby Oxleas Woods) are all within easy reach. The flat suits buyers who prioritise convenience, transport and access to green space over private garden size.
Buyers should note a few material points. The property is leasehold, so there will be communal maintenance obligations and service charges to consider. Private outdoor amenity is limited to a Juliet balcony rather than a full garden. The immediate area records higher-than-average crime levels locally, which may influence insurance and personal-security choices. Internal condition and exact room dimensions should be verified by viewing and survey.
