This chain-free studio offers a compact, well-presented home in a gated development just over a kilometre from Lewisham station. The flat comes with an extended lease (c.175 years), an allocated parking bay, and direct access to well-kept communal gardens — useful extras for city living.
Internally the single-room layout includes a fully fitted kitchen and double glazing; the accommodation is suitable for a single buyer, commuter or investor seeking a low-maintenance flat. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband in the area support home working and streaming.
Buyers should note the property is small at about 29m² (312ft²) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be expensive to run. The annual service charge is c.£2,300 — a meaningful ongoing cost. The local area is described as inner-city cosmopolitan with higher crime levels and relative deprivation, so factor neighbourhood context into any decision.
Overall this is a practical, low-upkeep entry into London ownership or a straightforward rental opportunity. The long lease and off-street parking add usability and resale value, while the size and running costs limit appeal for buyers wanting larger or low-energy homes.
