Summary - Flat 2 East Lodge, Allenby Road SE28 0BP
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free, near Elizabeth Line with parking and low service charges.
First-floor 2-bed, 2-bath apartment with en-suite to master
This light-filled first-floor apartment offers practical city living with good transport links and allocated parking. Set on the border of the Royal Arsenal regeneration, the property brings convenient shops, cafes and leisure facilities within easy walking distance. The layout includes an open-plan reception/kitchen, two double bedrooms and an en-suite to the master — a straightforward home for a couple, small family or buy-to-let investor.
The building is modern (circa 2003–2006) with double glazing and mains gas central heating. Notable positives are low service charges, an allocated off-street parking space and a lengthy remaining lease of 103 years. Both the kitchen and bathrooms have opening windows, a practical detail that improves ventilation compared with some nearby flats.
Be clear on the practical downsides: this is a leasehold property with a ground rent of £400, broadband speeds in the area are currently slow and the wider neighbourhood scores as relatively deprived. Crime is average. These factors affect running costs and suitability for remote working. The apartment is offered chain-free, which will help a quick sale or let-up of occupation.
Overall this is a sensible entry-level flat close to the Elizabeth Line and major transport links. It will suit first-time buyers needing good connections, small families seeking nearby schools and investors looking for a straightforward let in a regenerating area. Buyers who need high-speed home internet or who are sensitive to area deprivation should factor those issues into their decision.
