Turnkey starter home near excellent transport links and communal gardens.
Chain free with share of freehold and ~123 years remaining on lease
Recently renovated kitchen and bathroom — ready to occupy
Two double bedrooms; bright reception with feature fireplace
Off-street residents’ parking and well-kept communal gardens
Total floor area small at ~50m² (538ft²) — limited space/storage
EPC rating D; solid brick walls likely uninsulated — possible higher heating costs
Local area: excellent transport links but above-average crime rate
Service charge details TBC; ground rent low at £50 p.a.
This compact two-bedroom flat in an Art Deco block offers a ready-to-move-in option for first-time buyers seeking a period property with modern finishes. The apartment has been recently renovated, combining a bright reception with a feature fireplace and a contemporary kitchen and bathroom, so little immediate work is required.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold with about 123 years remaining on the lease, off-street residents’ parking, well-kept communal gardens, and full-fibre broadband. The location is a clear convenience: several DLR and rail stations are within easy walking distance, with direct links into central London and Canary Wharf.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The overall internal floor area is small (around 50m² / 538ft²), which limits storage and larger furniture layouts. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and has solid brick walls that are assumed to be uninsulated, and the EPC is a D — both factors may mean higher heating costs compared with modern builds. Local area indicators show higher-than-average crime and pockets of deprivation; prospective buyers should view in person to assess street-level considerations.
For a first-time buyer wanting a characterful, low-maintenance starter home with strong transport links and low ground rent, this flat represents a practical, chain-free entry into SE13. Investors seeking a straightforward rental also benefit from the turnkey condition and proximity to transport hubs.
