- Two double bedrooms, generous room sizes and high ceilings
- Own section of mature private garden and basement storage
- 968 sq ft — unusually large for a conversion flat
- 8-minute walk to Ladywell station; fast links to central London
- Leasehold with 105 years remaining; service charge c. £1,140 pa
- Solid brick construction; likely limited wall insulation
- Local area: high crime and very deprived — consider neighbourhood risks
- Double glazing present; install date unknown
Set on the second floor of a handsome Victorian semi, this two-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical living. High ceilings, feature fireplaces and large rooms give a feeling of space uncommon at this price point, while treetop views over Lewisham Park and a private section of garden offer outdoor space that many flats lack.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a generously proportioned living room with a cast-iron fireplace, a modern fitted bathroom and useful basement storage. The flat has been well cared for and is presented in good decorative order, ready to move into. Fast broadband and an excellent mobile signal support home working.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold (105 years remaining) with a service charge around £1,140 pa and a small ground rent reported at £10. The building is solid brick and likely has little cavity insulation, so there may be future opportunity or cost to improve thermal performance. Double glazing is installed but the date is unknown.
Location is a major draw for first-time buyers: Ladywell station is an eight-minute walk with quick services into central London, and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, including an outstanding secondary. However, local area statistics show high crime levels and significant deprivation, which buyers should weigh alongside the price and transport links.
