Summary - Gilmore Road SE13 5AD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Sunny first-floor home near Lewisham station and large communal gardens.
Share of Freehold; approx. 111 years remaining
Bright, characterful one-bedroom first-floor flat in a large Victorian semi, offered as a share of freehold with about 111 years remaining. High ceilings, original mouldings, an opened-up fireplace and wooden floors create immediate period charm, while a modern fitted kitchen and double-glazed southwesterly windows keep the main living space sunny and practical.
The flat includes a generous double bedroom plus an adjoining bonus room currently used as a walk-in wardrobe — easily repurposed as a home office, nursery or potential en-suite subject to consent. A windowed bathroom retains Victorian-style fittings and a roll-top bath for period appeal. The building sits behind a mature mimosa and benefits from a very large, well-kept communal garden that overlooks the Quaggy river.
Commuters and local life are strong selling points: Lewisham DLR and mainline stations are about a ten-minute walk, with direct links to Canary Wharf, Bank and central London terminals. Local shops, Lewisham Market and leisure facilities are close by, and Blackheath and Greenwich are short journeys for green space, markets and attractions.
Be clear on the practical downsides. The area records higher-than-average crime and is classed as deprived; the property has a medium flood risk and an annual service charge of about £1,920. Council tax is low (Band B). Overall this flat will suit a first-time buyer or investor who wants period character, strong transport links and garden access, and who is comfortable managing the local area challenges and communal costs.
