Summary - Devonshire Road, London, SE23 SE23 3EN
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Roomy period flat with garden access — needs modernisation and better broadband.
Large 668 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with high ceilings
This spacious one-bedroom period apartment offers generous living space and classic Victorian character in SE23. High ceilings, original fireplaces and decorative mouldings give the rooms strong period appeal, while the layout and 668 sq ft footprint feel larger than many one-bed flats — attractive for a first-time buyer seeking space or an investor targeting quality rental stock.
Residents share well-kept communal gardens, providing a peaceful outdoor space rare for inner-city flats. The location is convenient for shops, cafés and transport links, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, which adds everyday practicality and long-term resale appeal.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold and is in a building constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation — upgrading thermal performance may be needed. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the wider area records high crime levels, which should be factored into budgeting and security planning. Some maintenance and potential modernisation will be required to maximise comfort and value.
At the listed price this apartment suits a buyer wanting roomy period stock to personalise, or an investor prepared to carry out targeted improvements. The combination of space, character and a strong local amenity base provides clear upside once remedial works (insulation, heating checks, connectivity improvements and security measures) are addressed.
