Compact city pad near New Cross Gate, ideal for commuting or rental income.
Chain free with long lease of about 152 years
A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a modern purpose-built block in New Cross. At about 410 sq ft the layout provides a reception room with space for living and dining, a fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with a bathroom — arranged for easy everyday living or straightforward rental occupation. The property is chain free and comes with a long lease (circa 152 years), making the purchase process simple and secure.
Practical benefits include a communal garden, on-site parking, mains gas central heating and good mobile signal. The location is the strongest asset: New Cross Gate and New Cross stations are within easy reach for fast links into Central London and Canary Wharf, and local amenities, cafes and Goldsmiths University contribute to steady demand from young professionals and students.
Be clear on the material drawbacks: the apartment is small and best suited to single occupancy or couples, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels. Service charges are approximately 1,805 per year, which should be factored into running costs, though council tax is described as cheap.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into London or an investor targeting consistent rental demand close to transport and university hubs. Internal viewing will show the clean condition and ready-to-occupy presentation, while also allowing buyers to assess space and any modernisation they may want to carry out.
