This ground-floor Victorian conversion combines period character with contemporary comfort, making it a strong choice for first-time buyers. Two double bedrooms, two modern bathrooms and a bright open-plan living/kitchen create practical, move-in-ready space for couples or sharers. A private west-facing garden adds outdoor space rarely found at this price.
Practical strengths include a very long share-of-freehold lease (953 years), no service charge and no ground rent. Large double-glazed windows, gas central heating and a compact footprint (843 sq ft) keep running costs manageable; council tax sits at Greenwich Band C.
Be realistic about the location: Charlton shows higher-than-average crime and pockets of deprivation locally. The building is a solid-brick Victorian structure with assumed no cavity wall insulation, so further insulation or energy upgrades could be beneficial. The property is well presented but does need minor repairs in places consistent with period stock.
Transport links are a genuine advantage — Charlton station and frequent buses provide straightforward commuting into central London, while green spaces in Blackheath and Greenwich are close by. For buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area with strong rental potential or comfortable long-term living, this apartment offers clear upside with some sensible upgrade work.
