This ground-floor two-bedroom flat occupies the lower level of a semi‑detached Victorian building and offers a bright, well-proportioned living area with plentiful built-in storage. A modern fitted kitchen and a private rear garden make the flat feel larger than its footprint, while the driveway provides rare off‑street parking in SE25. The layout flows simply and suits a first‑time buyer or downsizer seeking move‑in readiness.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 159 years remaining, an affordable service charge and a small ground rent. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). The walls are original solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation, so there may be scope and cost for adding thermal upgrades to improve comfort and bills.
Local amenities and transport are strong selling points. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working; several primary and secondary schools rated Good are nearby. The immediate neighbourhood is an urban cultural mix with average crime rates and some area deprivation—buyers should consider wider community factors alongside the property’s internal condition.
Overall, this is a practical, well-presented home that balances period character with a contemporary kitchen and useful outside space. It offers clear value for first‑time purchasers or investors who want a ready-to-rent/personal home with modest running costs and potential to increase energy efficiency.
