Summary - Gilmore Road SE13 5AD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Sunny first-floor flat with strong transport links and conversion potential.
Large communal garden with mature trees and river views
Light-filled Victorian one-bedroom flat on the first floor, offered as a Share of Freehold with approximately 111 years remaining. The apartment retains period character — high ceilings, coving, fireplace and wooden floors — paired with a modern fitted kitchen and a windowed bathroom with a roll-top bath. Large southwest-facing windows bring strong afternoon sun into the open-plan reception and kitchen.
A major selling point is the very large, well-kept communal garden and a pleasant outlook over a mature mimosa tree and down to the Quaggy river. The flat includes a useful adjacent bonus room currently used as a walk-in wardrobe; it could serve as a home office, nursery or potentially be converted to an en suite, adding practical value.
Location suits first-time buyers who need fast commutes: Lewisham DLR and mainline stations are about a 10-minute walk, providing direct routes to Canary Wharf, Bank and central London terminals. Local amenities are strong — Lewisham market, supermarkets, cafes and gyms are nearby, and Blackheath’s green spaces and weekend market are an easy walk or short train ride.
Buyers should note some material negatives: the area has a relatively high crime rate and is classified as deprived, and the property carries a medium flooding risk. Service charges are approximately £1,920 per year. The flat is average in size (about 476 sq ft), so storage and space planning are important considerations. These factors influence affordability and insurance costs but are balanced by the Share of Freehold tenure and good transport links.
