Summary - 55 THURBARN ROAD LONDON SE6 3QD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, top-floor one-bedroom flat with balcony — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat with private balcony
Light-filled top-floor flat in a purpose-built mock‑Tudor block, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The property has a spacious reception, double bedroom and a private balcony that looks across neighbouring green space — a practical home for a single buyer or couple and a straightforward lettable option for investors.
Practical running costs are clear: a 102‑year lease, modest ground rent of £10 pa and an annual service charge of £1,293.60. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators, windows are double glazed, and the building appears structurally sound, typical of 1930–1949 construction. The flat’s size (approx 549 sq ft) is average for the area and suits those seeking manageable space in Catford with good rail links to central London.
Notable negatives are factual and important. The neighbourhood scores as very deprived with above‑average crime levels; buyers should consider this for lifestyle or rental yields. There’s no private garden and outdoor amenity is limited to a small balcony. Walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated, so further thermal upgrades could be considered. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall this is a pragmatic urban property: low council tax (Band B), off‑street/residents parking, and chain‑free sale make for a simple purchase. It will suit first‑time buyers wanting commuter convenience or landlords looking for a compact rental in SE6, though expected returns and long‑term value will depend on area factors and any planned internal improvements.
