Summary - 51 AMBLECOTE ROAD LONDON SE12 9TN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Long lease, quick commute to the City and shared garden access for first-time buyers.
Two double bedrooms and large bay-window lounge
A bright two-bedroom apartment set within a popular interwar development, offered chain free and ready for a first-time buyer. The flat benefits from a long lease of 189 years, a modern fitted kitchen, a large lounge with a bay window and access to well-maintained communal gardens. Grove Park station is a short walk away, making City commutes quick and straightforward.
Practical running costs are clear: mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown), and a modest service charge of £1,100 per year. Council tax is described as cheap, and ground rent is a peppercorn. The apartment’s solid brick construction and original 1930s build give character but mean cavity insulation is not present and some thermal improvements may be needed.
Be aware of local context: the area scores as relatively deprived with above-average crime statistics compared with wider London. That makes this a budget-conscious purchase with realistic work needed on security and possible energy-efficiency upgrades. For buyers seeking commuter convenience, a long lease, and immediate occupancy, this flat offers clear value; those prioritising low-crime neighbourhoods or newly insulated homes should factor in mitigation or renovation costs.
