Compact Lewisham flat with period features and strong transport links.
Chain free sale, long lease (approx. 142 years)
Set within a handsome Victorian terrace on Halesworth Road, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central Lewisham base. The flat benefits from high ceilings, large sash-style windows and period character, while a contemporary kitchen provides everyday practicality. The property is offered chain free and has a long lease (around 142 years).
At about 404 sq ft the accommodation is compact but bright. Strong transport links to Lewisham Station and the DLR make commutes into Central London and Canary Wharf straightforward, and local green spaces, shops and cafés are within easy walking distance. The apartment currently has neutral décor throughout but would reward modest updating and personalisation.
Practical details are favourable: a share of freehold/leasehold arrangement, on-street parking, mains gas heating, EPC rating C, and reasonable annual charges (service charge circa £1,050, ground rent £100). Buyers should note the property sits in an area with above-average crime and in a wider deprived area classification, and the building’s solid brick walls likely have limited insulation compared with modern stock.
This is a straightforward purchase for someone wanting an affordable London entry point with scope to add value. The flat’s size and need for some renovation mean it’s best suited to a single buyer, couple, or an investor looking for a lettable, well-located studio/one-bed in a popular SE13 neighbourhood.
