A bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment set on a quiet close in Mottingham, offering straightforward living with a private balcony and communal garden. The flat has been newly refreshed and features a contemporary kitchen, double glazing and an EPC rating of C — useful for low running costs.
Transport is a key strength: Grove Park station is about 0.7 miles away with direct trains to London Bridge in around 14 minutes, plus local buses on the doorstep. At about 505 sq ft the layout is a comfortable size for a single occupant or couple, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with 87–88 years remaining and modest annual charges (service charge £885, ground rent £10). The surrounding neighbourhood is an established renting-families area within a larger, economically deprived ward; local amenities and several well-rated schools are nearby.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable London entry or buy-to-let investors after a well-presented, ready-to-rent home. Buyers should factor in the sub-90-year lease when planning finance or future resale, and note the area’s higher deprivation level when assessing long-term capital growth.
