Very slow broadband speeds — may affect remote working
Area classified as very deprived; local crime levels high
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — potential upgrade needed
This first-floor one-bedroom period conversion sits on a quiet, tree-lined street and offers classic Victorian features with practical living space. The front-room living room with bay window fills the apartment with natural light, while the kitchen has space to dine — a comfortable layout for a single professional or first-time buyer.
The lease is long (approx. 116 years remaining) with a low annual ground rent (£10) and modest service charge (£200). Gas central heating with boiler and radiators provides reliable warmth. A private garden and very low flood risk add useful extras for an inner‑city property.
Buyers should note some material local concerns: the area has high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may increase heating costs and present upgrade work if you want improved thermal performance.
Overall, this apartment is a straightforward, well-located entry point into the SE8 market. It will suit someone seeking character, natural light and a long lease, who is comfortable with inner-city challenges and willing to consider energy-efficiency improvements.
