Affordable city entry in Deptford, minutes from stations and local amenities.
Top-floor flat offering good natural light and privacy
Set on the top floor in Deptford (SE8), this compact one-bedroom flat offers an affordable city entry point for a first-time buyer. The location places New Cross and Deptford stations within easy reach, with a wide mix of local shops, cafés and amenities on the doorstep. Natural light and privacy are strengths of the top-floor position.
The apartment measures approximately 338 sq ft and has a straightforward studio-style layout with one bedroom and one bathroom. It was built in the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing; however, the interior needs renovation and updating throughout. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property is served by average broadband speeds.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold and chain-free, with an average annual service charge of £1,344 and ground rent of £90. The neighbourhood is described as very deprived with a very high local crime rate, which should be weighed against the strong transport links and rental/investment potential. This is a budget-priced, hands-on project for someone willing to refurbish to add value or for a buyer seeking an affordable central location.
