Practical first buy near Lee station with low running costs and fast broadband.
Bright open-plan kitchen and living area with integrated appliances
A compact one-bedroom apartment in Cheriton Court, Burnt Ash Hill, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance London entry point. The flat offers a bright open kitchen/living area with integrated appliances, a double bedroom and a modern shower room. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and gas central heating make the home move-in ready.
Practical details that matter: the property is leasehold with about 108 years remaining, an annual service charge of £1,835 and ground rent of £150. The apartment totals approximately 364 sq ft, so space is limited and best for singles or couples, or as a rental aimed at young professionals. Council Tax band B keeps running costs relatively low.
Location is a key selling point — about 0.4 miles from Lee railway station with local shops, schools (several rated Good) and community amenities nearby. Crime is low and there is no recorded flood risk. The building dates from the 1980s, has double glazing (install date unknown) and cavity walls assumed insulated.
Considerations: the flat is small and will not suit buyers needing larger living space. The area is classified as deprived overall, which can affect long-term capital growth compared with more affluent neighbourhoods. For investors, the short commute to central London and local rental demand are positives, but factor in the service charge and ground rent when calculating yields.
