Set on the second floor of a 1970s low‑rise block, this one‑bed apartment offers a sensible 577 sq ft layout and a larger‑than‑average lounge/diner that benefits from a rear outlook over well‑kept communal gardens. The double bedroom includes built‑in wardrobes; there is a separate kitchen and a bathroom with a matching suite. Residents also use communal off‑street parking and an en‑bloc garage.
Practical details suit a first‑time buyer or investor: the property is offered chain‑free, held as a share of freehold with about 91 years remaining on the lease, and sits in a very affluent, low‑crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Shortlands rail station is a short walk away with frequent services into Central London, making this a convenient commuter location.
The flat is functional but dated in places and will benefit from modernisation to maximise value or rental yield. Heating is electric via night storage units, which may be less efficient than modern alternatives. Windows were upgraded to double glazing post‑2002 and the EPC indicator suggests reasonably good energy performance with potential improvement.
Overall this is a low‑maintenance urban flat with sensible space, communal amenities and strong transport links. Buyers should factor in refurbishment costs and the remaining lease length when assessing long‑term value, but the flat offers clear rental and owner‑occupier appeal in Bromley.
