Contemporary kitchen with direct access to a private terrace

Garage parking included — rare for this area
Share of freehold tenure provides greater control than standard leasehold
Listed status restricts alterations; may complicate renovation and insulation work
Area reports high crime; verify security and insurance implications
Tucked into a handsome Grade II listed Victorian terrace, this lower-ground, two-bedroom apartment blends period character with contemporary fittings. High ceilings and original details give the generous reception room warmth and presence, while wooden floors and large windows maximise light. The kitchen opens onto a private terrace, extending living outdoors and offering a quiet spot for morning coffee.
Accommodation includes two well-proportioned bedrooms plus a flexible bonus room currently used as a dressing area, and modern tiling and fittings in the bathroom(s). Off-street garage parking is a valuable asset in this part of London, and the share-of-freehold tenure offers more control than a conventional leasehold purchase.
Practical considerations are important: the building’s Grade II listing can restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation or insulation work. The property has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators — buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, so confirm local security measures and insurance implications.
For families and professionals, the location is a major draw. Blackheath Village’s shops, bakeries and restaurants are a short walk away, and Blackheath and Lewisham stations provide fast links into central London. Nearby schools include several well-rated primaries and secondaries. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful home with good transport links and clear scope for sympathetic updating, provided you factor in listed-building constraints and retrofit costs.
