This top-floor, split-level one-bedroom apartment pairs Victorian character with contemporary presentation, offering a comfortable London base for a first-time buyer. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street and moments from Deptford Park, the layout makes good use of its space across approximately 588 sq ft and feels light and private on the upper floors.
The flat is well presented throughout with period features, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and double glazing (install date unknown). The property benefits from mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical advantages for everyday living and remote working.
Important practical points: the building is leasehold with 99 years remaining, an annual service charge of £306 and a ground rent of £10. The mid-terrace construction is solid brick with no known wall insulation (assumed), which could mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit work if insulation is desired. Local statistics note higher crime levels and significant area deprivation, which may influence some buyers' decisions.
For buyers looking for period character in a well-connected part of SE8, this apartment represents good value given its size, location and condition. It is ready to occupy but also offers scope for modest improvement, particularly around energy efficiency, for those planning longer-term ownership.
