A ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette with private garden and no onward chain, offered with a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property occupies 538 sq ft within a 1930s semi-detached building and presents in generally good condition with a modern kitchen and double glazing noted. The reception feels spacious for the size and opens comfortably onto the small paved rear garden and shed.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with 86 years remaining (share of freehold) — buyers should verify enfranchisement options and mortgageability with lenders. Construction is solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation, so there is potential to improve energy efficiency. Council tax band is low and broadband/mobile connectivity are strong.
Location suits commuters: Catford’s stations are within a 10–15 minute walk and local amenities, parks and good primary and secondary schools are nearby. However, the immediate area records very high crime and very high deprivation, which will affect buyer appeal and should be considered when assessing long-term value.
Overall this maisonette is a compact, chain-free entry into London ownership with scope to add value through energy and cosmetic improvements. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting a manageable property close to transport, or an investor targeting rental demand in an established renting-families neighbourhood.
