A well-presented two-bedroom top-floor apartment at the rear of Elswyn House, offered chain free with a long 997-year lease and a share of freehold. The flat overlooks communal gardens, includes a garage to the rear and benefits from a new boiler fitted in 2023, making it low-maintenance and move-in ready for many buyers.
At around 609 sq ft, the layout is traditional with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and two good-sized bedrooms. The property’s proximity to Sidcup station, local shops and amenities makes it a strong option for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking reliable rental demand.
Buyers should note the apartment is compact overall and located on the top floor; internal space is efficient rather than generous. The development has an annual service charge of approximately £1,600 and the local area records higher crime levels, which some purchasers will want to consider alongside the property’s other strengths.
This is a straightforward, low-risk purchase for someone who values long lease security, easy access to transport, and low immediate maintenance. Verify service charge details and any communal arrangements as part of purchase checks.
